PLANTING TREES
 BENEFITS OF PLANTING TREES

 Reduce Erosion and Storm Runoff

Pollution from storm runoff is fouling our

waterways. Tree canopies deflect rain,
causing it to hit the ground more slowly,
increasing absorption. The planting of
trees means improved water quality,
resulting in less runoff and erosion. This
allows more recharging of the ground
water supply. Wooded areas also help
prevent the transport of sediment and
chemicals into streams.

 Reduce winter heating bills

A properly positioned Evergreen windbreak can buffer cold winter

winds, reducing heating bills by over 10 percent.
 BENEFITS OF PLANTING TREES

 Provide shelter and food for wildlife

By providing safe shelter, food and nesting

opportunities, trees attract all types of
wildlife, from birds to squirrels.
 BENEFITS OF PLANTING TREES

 Reduce air pollutants

According to Ecology.com, trees are able to

remove both gaseous pollutants and
airborne particles. Gaseous pollutants
absorbed by the leaves include ozone,
sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon
monoxide. Airborne particles such as dust
and smoke are temporarily removed from
the air by mechanical interception,
primarily on leaf surfaces.
 BENEFITS OF PLANTING TREES

 Reduce Carbon Dioxide in the

Atmosphere

Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release

oxygen, reducing greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere and slowing global warming.
