Trees keep our air supply fresh by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.

In one year, an acre of trees can absorb as much carbon as is produced by a car driven up to 8700 miles.

Trees provide shade and shelter, reducing yearly heating and cooling costs by 2.1 billion dollars.

Trees lower air temperature by evaporating water in their leaves.

Trees improve water quality by slowing and filtering rain water as well as protecting aquifers and watersheds.

Trees provide protection from downward fall of rain, sleet, and hail as well as reduce storm run-off and the possibility of flooding.

Tree roots stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.

Trees provide food and shelter for wildlife.

Trees located along streets act as a glare and reflection control.
