Trees are good for your mental health
Research shows that access to trees reduces rates of depression, lowers levels of the brain’s main stress hormone, cortisol, and improves cognitive function. This is especially true in cities and urban areas, where residents are significantly more likely to battle depression and anxiety. By breaking up concrete jungles with urban forests, we can help make people happier and healthier.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in five U.S. adults experience mental illness. It’s a troubling trend that affects people of all backgrounds.
Despite the overwhelming amount of research available, there’s seemingly little awareness among U.S. adults about how trees can positively affect our day-to-day well-being. According to a Harris Poll survey commissioned by the Arbor Day Foundation, only 41% of American adults valued a tree’s ability to boost mental health. I believe this is because, too often, green space is seen as a luxury.

I feel fortunate that I have 4 big trees in my yard, and 2 baby ones. There is nowhere nearby to walk in nature. The town has a park but it is always full of people.

from a second floor condo to one on the first. Its surrounded by large flowering trees and greenery. We find it so peaceful and calming to sit on the porch and enjoy. You are so right!
Good for you.
this poem... 
WHEN I AM AMONG THE TREES -by Mary Oliver
When I am among the trees,
especially the willows and the honey locust
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they give off such hints of gladness.
I would almost say that they save me, and daily.
I am so distant from the hope of myself,
in which I have goodness, and discernment,
and never hurry through the world
but walk slowly, and bow often.
Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”
to have 4 acres of wild trees and nearby forests and woods to hike and explore... I truly wish the same for everyone...
I invite people to come stay on my tent platform and then they learn about the bears.... 
Bears? Oh my! 
Mother Nature entertains.
I bet if you had time, you could write a novel about your place.
Some day, before they put me in a wheelchair, I'm coming to visit.
