Ever Wonder Why a Walk in a Forest
is so Refreshing in Summer?
Over a course of a single growing season, forests pump millions of gallons of
water into the air. This is why walk-

day. How is this possible?  The
hot sun on the leaves causes water
to evaporate from the leaves. This
evaporating water creates a vacuum

which moves from the ground into the leaves of a tree is evaporated from the
