Tree Committee

Trees play a critical role in creating healthier, safer, and more connected communities. They clean our air, filter our water, and even slow storm surge and flooding in our cities. Trees also provide shade and cool our cities by up to ten (10) degrees, which can help prevent heat-related deaths in urban areas.

Trees have shown the ability to reduce stress, improve overall health and development in children, encourage physical activity, and reduce crime. And a healthy community wide tree canopy fosters economic advantages as well as an increase in civic pride among residents."
