2.  Trees Clean our air.

3.  Trees encourage natural habitat to surround our daily existence. 

4.  Trees increase the value of homes and businesses up to 15% or more.

5.  Trees help clean our rivers and streams and reduce runoff pollution.

6.  Trees among our homes and businesses conserve energy in the winter, cutting heating bills 10-20%.

7.  Trees fight global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and by cutting our use of air conditioners and heaters, they reduce     burning of fossil fuels.

8.  Trees add beauty, grace and seasonal colors to our neighborhoods and enhance outdoor living.
