Why A Tree?
For many reasons, trees are often misunderstood. The importance in planting a tree goes much further beyond the beauty. Please read below some interesting facts gathered about trees from the National Arbor Day Foundations web site.
 
Trees can save you money!
"Trees properly placed around buildings can reduce air conditioning needs by 30 percent and can save 20 - 50 percent in energy used for heating." -USDA Forest Service

"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

Trees save you money!
"Shade from trees could save up to $175 per year (per structure) in air conditioning costs." -Dr. Lowell Ponte

Trees are a good Investment!
"Healthy, mature trees add an average of 10 percent to a property's value." -USDA Forest Service "Landscaping, especially with trees, can increase property values as much as 20 percent." -Management Information Services/ICMA

"Trees can boost the market value of your home by an average of 6 or 7 percent." -Dr. Lowell Ponte

Trees are crucial to healthy living!
"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 help prevent the transport of sediment and chemicals into streams." -USDA Forest Service

Trees relieve stress!
"In laboratory research, visual exposure to settings with trees has produced significant recovery from stress within five minutes, as indicated by changes in blood pressure and muscle tension." -Dr. Roger S. Ulrich Texas A&M UniversityTrees attract people!

"Trees can be a stimulus to economic development, attracting new business and tourism. Commercial retail areas are more attractive to shoppers, apartments rent more quickly, tenants stay longer, and space in a wooded setting is more valuable to sell or rent." -The National Arbor Day Foundation
