Trees are natural carbon dioxide-eating and oxygen producing, statuesque, beautiful beings that provide shade, cooling, privacy, wind breaks, as well as homes and food sources for native wildlife.
About Trees
“The net cooling effect of a young, healthy tree is equivalent to ten room-size air conditioners operating 20 hours a day.” — U.S. Department of Agriculture
“Healthy, mature trees add an average of 10 percent to a property’s value.”
— USDA Forest Service
“One acre of forest absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons of oxygen. This is enough to meet the annual needs of 18 people.”
— U.S. Department of Agriculture
