Studies have shown that houses with large trees are consistently sold for higher quantities than houses without trees. There are significant drops in property crime in neighborhoods that have trees. Where space is beautiful and safe, people are more likely to be active, such as walking or biking. In this way, trees promote healthy lifestyles.
Increased activity may be why better heart health and longevity correlate with neighborhoods rich in green space. Reducing air pollution is also a likely factor. Trees also reduce the likelihood of flooding and the myriad health problems that arise from a flooded basement, such as mold and toxic bacteria. They reduce summer heat and encourage people to go out and take a walk or run around the neighborhood.
People who exercise this moderate are more likely to be healthy, maintain a normal weight, and live longer, happier lives. Trees also help filter air pollution and absorb stormwater runoff. Studies have also shown that the presence of trees can have positive effects on mental health and cognitive function. Healthy trees are valuable assets for communities.
Urban and community forests contribute to energy savings, improved air and water quality, reduced stormwater runoff, carbon storage and increased property values. Street trees and parks moderate the local climate and provide aesthetic and recreational values to communities. However, the poorest neighborhoods are the ones that most need trees. Its residents often lack air conditioning or suffer disproportionately from ill health.
There is also evidence that trees can help filter out fine particle pollution from fossil fuel combustion, which is linked to many health problems. Trees are an important part of every community. Our streets, parks, playgrounds and backyards are lined with trees that create a quiet and aesthetically pleasing environment. Trees increase our quality of life by bringing natural elements and wildlife habitats to urban environments.
We gather under the cool shade provided during the outdoor activities with family and friends. Many neighborhoods are also home to very old trees that serve as historic landmarks and a great source of pride in the city. Therefore, the soil around the root systems of trees must be protected from being stepped on by tree grids, plantations or short swallow fences, depending on space considerations. It's no secret that trees help the environment, but you may be surprised by all the benefits that tree planting can provide.
That would require planting 24,000 trees each year for the next 10 years, along with better maintenance of existing trees. Since 2002, the emerald ash borer, a tree-destroying beetle, has devastated the country's ash trees. Even in cities with strong tree-planting programs, leaders have found that they continue to lose canopy cover each year as urban sprawl and development uproot existing trees to make way for housing. Not only can you plant trees in your yard, but you can also participate in local tree planting activities on Arbor Day.
Courtney Blashka, director of community forestry & conservation at Holden Forests & Gardens, tidies up the soil around a newly planted oak tree that is a clone of the tree that Jesse Owens planted. Many cities and states are also reevaluating what types of trees to plant, as changing conditions brought on by climate change alter long-held views on which trees will thrive in a given region. If you need to remove trees in your neighborhood or do some tree maintenance work such as lopping them, be sure to contact a certified arborist from Tree Lopping Townsville who will perform the best quality service with equipment that is safe for the people and your environment.
