1.
TREES COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE
02.
TREES CLEAN THE AIR
03.
TREES PROVIDE OXYGEN
In one year an acre of mature trees can provide enough oxygen for 18 people.
04.
TREES COOL THE STREETS AND THE CITY
Trees cool the city by up to 10°F, by shading our homes and streets, breaking up urban “heat islands” and releasing water vapor into the air through their leaves.
05.
TREES CONSERVE ENERGY
06.
TREES SAVE WATER
Shade from trees slows water evaporation from thirsty lawns. Most newly planted trees need only fifteen gallons of water a week. As trees transpire, they increase atmospheric moisture.
07.
TREES HELP PREVENT WATER POLLUTION
08.
TREES HELP PREVENT SOIL EROSION
On hillsides or stream slopes, trees slow runoff and hold soil in place.
09.
TREES SHIELD CHILDREN FROM ULTRA-VIOLET RAYS
10.
TREES PROVIDE FOOD
An apple tree can yield up to 15-20 bushels of fruit per year and can be planted on the tiniest urban lot. Aside from fruit for humans, trees provide food for birds and wildlife.
11.
TREES HEAL
Studies have shown that patients with views of trees out their windows heal faster and with less complications. Children with ADHD show fewer symptoms when they have access to nature. Exposure to trees and nature aids concentration by reducing mental fatigue.
12.
TREES REDUCE VIOLENCE
Neighborhoods and homes that are barren have shown to have a greater incidence of violence in and out of the home than their greener counterparts. Trees and landscaping help to reduce the level of fear.
13.
TREES MARK THE SEASONS
Is it winter, spring, summer or fall? Look at the trees.
14.
TREES CREATE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES
Fruit harvested from community orchards can be sold, thus providing income. Small business opportunities in green waste management and landscaping arise when cities value mulching and its water-saving qualities. Vocational training for youth interested in green jobs is also a great way to develop economic opportunities from trees.
15.
TREES ARE TEACHERS AND PLAYMATES
Whether as houses for children or creative and spiritual inspiration for adults, trees have provided the space for human retreat throughout the ages.
16.
TREES BRING DIVERSE GROUPS OF PEOPLE TOGETHER
Tree plantings provide an opportunity for community involvement and empowerment that improves the quality of life in our neighborhoods. All cultures, ages, and genders have an important role to play at a tree planting or tree care event.
17.
TREES ADD UNITY
Trees as landmarks can give a neighborhood a new identity and encourage civic pride.
18.
TREES PROVIDE A CANOPY AND HABITAT FOR WILDLIFE
Sycamore and oak are among the many urban species that provide excellent urban homes for birds, bees, possums and squirrels.
19.
TREES BLOCK THINGS
Trees can mask concrete walls or parking lots, and unsightly views. They muffle sound from nearby streets and freeways, and create an eye-soothing canopy of green. Trees absorb dust and wind and reduce glare.
20.
TREES PROVIDE WOOD
In suburban and rural areas, trees can be selectively harvested for fuel and craft wood.
21.
TREES INCREASE PROPERTY VALUES
The beauty of a well-planted property and its surrounding street and neighborhood can raise property values by as much as 15 percent.
22.
TREES INCREASE BUSINESS TRAFFIC
Studies show that the more trees and landscaping a business district has, the more business will flow in. A tree-lined street will also slow traffic – enough to allow the drivers to look at the store fronts instead of whizzing by.
23.Help clean our air and water.
24.Cool streams for native fish and other species.
25.Reduce erosion.
26.Reduce energy use, especially when strategically placed.
27.Provide food.
28.Conserve water.
29.Cool city streets.
30.Provide jobs and building materials.
31.Climate change: Trees sequester carbon (CO2), reducing the overall concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
32.Energy conservation:
A tree is a natural air conditioner. The evaporation from a single tree can produce the cooling effect of ten room-size, residential air conditioners operating 20 hours a day.
Acting as a natural air-conditioner, Palo Alto’s lush canopy ensures that summer temperatures are at least 6 to 8 degrees lower than in comparable neighborhoods without trees.
Tree windbreaks can reduce residential heating costs 10-15%; while shading and evaporative cooling from trees can cut residential air-conditioning costs 20-50%.
33.Water filtration and retention: Urban forests promote beneficial water quality and reduce storm water management cost
50.Wildlife habitat: Trees provide important habitats for numerous bird, insect and animal species.
