Trees provide shade. Mature tree canopy reduces urban air temperatures up to 10 degrees.
Trees reduce flooding. Every 5% of added tree canopy reduces stormwater runoff by 2%.
Trees save energy. A 25-foot tree reduces typical heating and cooling costs by up to 12%.
Trees help us breathe. Just two 30-foot trees supply the oxygen needs of a person for a year.
Trees improve health. Children who live on tree-lined streets have lower rates of asthma
