Trees have big benefits

Office workers with a view of nature from their desks were less frustrated, more patient, found their jobs more challenging and felt greater enthusiasm for the job.

Office workers without a view of nature from their desks report 23% more times of illness in the previous six months.

In a comparison of two community settings, consumers agreed that “businesses care about the community” in the community with more green space.

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
