Trees are a way of showing that we believe in tomorrow. They are a vital and renewable resource  contributing to the economy and protecting the environment.

     They anchor the urban ecology and landscape. They knit together the social fabric of neighborhoods, beautifying the landscape with their foliage and stateliness. Trees  increase property values, and they add to public revenue, attracting businesses and visitors.  They provide shade, filter impurities from the air, and provide energy savings. They improve storm water management helping to prevent soil erosion and flooding. They yield fruit for humans and sustenance for birds and wildlife. They often define property lines, and they serve as fences and provide windbreaks. Trees have been planted as memorials and monuments.
