Trees Around Your Home

Trees perform important functions that protect and enhance the health and property of people that live in the city as well as people that live in rural and urban areas. Trees literally clean the air by absorbing air pollutants and releasing oxygen. They reduce storm water runoff and erosion with their roots, they temper climates by reducing the need for air conditioning, they save energy and they create wildlife habitats for insects and animals. Trees can improve health, serve as screens around communities and businesses, and strengthen overall community bonds. By planting flowers, plants, and trees, people can even help contribute to a community’s economy and way of life.
