Beyond their beauty, trees deliver critical environmental, economic, and social benefits. They are one of the most valuable assets in our communities.
Trees filter pollutants from the air, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. One mature tree can absorb over 20 kg of CO₂ per year.
Tree canopies reduce local temperatures by providing shade and lowering heat retention in built environments. This helps to combat the urban heat island effect.
Tree roots absorb rainfall, reducing runoff and erosion. This helps prevent flooding and eases pressure on urban drainage systems.
Trees support biodiversity by providing food, nesting areas, and shelter for birds, insects, and mammals in both urban and natural settings.
Well-planted streets and treed landscapes can significantly boost property value. Studies show properties near mature trees attract higher sale prices.
Strategically placed trees reduce energy costs by shading buildings in summer and acting as windbreaks in winter.
Healthy urban trees can extend the life of pavements and infrastructure by moderating temperature extremes and reducing stormwater damage.
Spending time around trees and green space has been linked to reduced stress, improved mood, and enhanced cognitive function.
Trees improve air quality, encouraging outdoor activity and reducing risks associated with pollution and heat stress.
Tree-lined streets and shared green spaces encourage social interaction and foster a sense of pride and community.
