Benefits
- Trees give off oxygen that we need to breathe, combat climate change and clean the air.
- Trees reduce the amount of storm water runoff, which reduces erosion and pollution in our waterways and may reduce the effects of flooding.
- Many species of wildlife depend on trees for habitat. Trees provide food, protection, and homes for many birds and mammals.
- Trees cool the streets, our city and our homes.
- Trees save water. Shade from trees slows water evaporation from thirsty lawns.
- Trees can mask unsightly views. They muffle sound from nearby streets and highways, and create an eye-soothing canopy of green. Trees absorb dust and wind and reduce glare.
