Climate change can be mitigated by trees
As carbon dioxide (CO2) builds up in our atmosphere, climate change occurs. In addition to removing and storing CO2, trees also release oxygen back into the atmosphere. One acre of mature trees absorbs the same amount of CO2 as driving your car 26,000 miles in one year.

Clean the air with trees
The leaves and bark of trees absorb odors and pollutant gasses (nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone) from the air, as well as trapping particulates.

It is trees that provide oxygen to the atmosphere
The oxygen provided by a mature acre of trees can support 18 people for a year.

It Cools The Street & City With Trees
Over the last 50 years, Los Angeles’ average temperature has risen 6°F due to the decline in tree coverage and the increase in heat-absorbing roads and buildings. As trees shade our homes and streets, they break up urban “heat islands” and release water vapor into the air, cooling our city by up to 10°F.

Energy is conserved by trees
It is possible to reduce summer air conditioning costs by up to 50% by planting three trees strategically around a single-family home. Using less energy to cool our houses reduces carbon dioxide emissions and other pollution from power plants.

Save water by planting trees

The shade of trees slows the evaporation of water from thirsty lawns. The average newly planted tree requires only fifteen gallons of water a week. The transpiration of trees increases the amount of moisture in the atmosphere.

Pollution of water is prevented by trees

By breaking rainfall, trees reduce runoff by allowing the water to run down the trunk and into the earth below. Pollutants are prevented from entering the ocean through stormwater runoff. This water is naturally filtered by mulched trees and used to recharge groundwater supplies when they are mulched.

Trees Help Prevent Soil Erosion

As trees grow on hillsides or stream slopes, they hold soil into place and slow runoff.

Radiation from ultraviolet rays is absorbed by trees

In the United States, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer. Children on school campuses and playgrounds – where they spend hours outdoors – are protected from ultraviolet-B radiation by trees.

A tree provides food for us

Even the tiniest urban lot can support apple trees that produce 15-20 bushels of fruit each year. Trees provide birds and wildlife with food in addition to fruit for humans.

It is Trees that heal

Patients with views of trees out their windows heal faster and have fewer complications. A child with ADHD who has access to nature shows fewer symptoms. Forests and nature reduce mental fatigue and aid concentration.

Violence is reduced by trees

The incidence of violence in and out of the home is higher in barren neighborhoods and homes. Landscaping and trees reduce fear levels.

Seasons are marked by trees

Winter, spring, summer, or fall? Observe the trees.

The growth of trees creates economic opportunities

Buying fruit from community orchards provides income for the community. The value of mulching and its water-saving qualities creates opportunities for small businesses in green waste management and landscaping. It is also possible to develop economic opportunities from trees by providing vocational training for youth interested in green jobs.

Trees teach us and play with us

For centuries, trees have provided the space for human retreat, whether as houses for children or spiritual inspiration for adults.

Diverse groups of people come together because of trees

The planting of trees enhances the quality of life in our neighborhoods by providing opportunities for community involvement and empowerment. It is important that people of all ages, cultures, and genders participate in tree planting and tree care activities.

Healthy Solis is Promoted by Trees

Trees need healthy soil to establish. Structured soils are used in urban planning to support soil and tree root growth.

Among the benefits provided by trees is the habitat they provide for wildlife and the canopy they provide for humans.

Birds, bees, possums, squirrels and other urban animals thrive in sycamore and oak trees.

Spaces are beautified by trees

It is possible to conceal unsightly views behind trees, such as concrete walls and parking lots. They create an eye-soothing canopy of green that muffles sound from nearby streets and freeways. In addition to absorbing dust and wind, trees also reduce glare.

Drought Mediation With Trees

Nutrients and water are absorbed by trees’ roots, which serve as sensors to detect water shortages and send messages to shoots above ground. Native species that are drought-tolerant have deep-seeking roots that tap into groundwater and draw it to the surface.

The trees help capture rainwater
The nature-based approach to flooding is urban tree canopies. As tree canopies increase the surface area at which stormwater falls, less runoff reaches the ground. The root system acts as a catchment area for water, which facilitates infiltration.

Trees Help People Get Outside and Engage Their City

People are more likely to engage with local businesses and public infrastructure when a city has trees and landscaping. In addition to reducing a city’s carbon footprint, this increases alternative transportation like bicycling and public transit.

In Response To Climate Change, Trees Are A Cost-Effective Solution

In the face of extreme heat, droughts, and floods, trees are cost-effective solutions to combat climate change. The only infrastructure that gains value over time is trees!
