BENEFITS OF TREES   

Planting trees is a nature-based solution for mitigating some of the effects of climate change. Trees serve many important functions such as storing carbon and producing oxygen, providing shade and reducing heat island effect, capture and treatment of stormwater runoff, prevention of soil erosion, providing habitat, and adding beauty to any landscape.
