Reasons to Plant Trees

1. Trees increase property values, typically between 5-15 percent.

2. Trees clean the air, absorbing airborne particles, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.

3. Trees produce oxygen; a mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year.

4. Trees shade and cool, up to 12 degrees Fahrenheit, reducing the need for air conditioning.

5. Trees make effective sound barriers.

6. Trees become "carbon sinks", converting gaseous carbon dioxide in the air and locking the carbon into the trees solid mass.

7. Trees act as windbreaks.

8. Trees fight soil erosion.
