Trees provide important environmental benefits beyond just beauty or shade. They moderate the effects of sunlight, wind, and rain which helps cool temperatures and provides protection. Trees also filter air pollution by absorbing carbon dioxide and other particles while releasing oxygen. Planting more trees creates a sustainable ecosystem that supports native wildlife and improves the environment.

We Should Plant More Trees

Have you ever considered why we plant trees?


Most of the trees and shrubs in communities are
planted to provide beauty or shade. These are
excellent reasons for their use however there are
other important environmental benefits.

Trees change the environment by moderating the


effects of sun, wind, air and rain. The radiating
energy from the sun is absorbed or deflected by
leaves, making it cooler and less exposed to the
harmful effects of direct sunlight in the summer
months.

Wind speed and direction can be affected by trees.


Dense foliage or groups of trees create windbreaks;
protecting people, pets and buildings.

Rainfall and hail is absorbed or deflected by trees,


which also provide some protection for people, pets
and buildings. Trees store some of the water;
reduce storm water runoff and erosion thereby
lessening the chance of flooding.

Leaves filter the air we breathe by removing dust


and other particles. They absorb carbon dioxide
from the air to make carbohydrates needed in the
plant’s structure and function. In this process,
leaves absorb other air pollutants and give off
oxygen.

Planting more trees will not only beautify an urban


environment but will also create a sustainable and
safe ecosystem for the survival of native animals,
birds and insects.
