The Value of Planting & Protecting Urban TreesA mature tree in an urban area provides up to $162,000 in ecosystem services

• Trees absorb carbon dioxide (up to 25 lbs of CO2 per year)• Trees produce oxygen • Trees reduce up to 60% of particulate pollution in the air• Trees provide erosion control and act as flood control agents• Trees provide habitat for birds and beneficial insects• People are more likely to shop on streets that are planted with trees• Clean & green settings experience less crimes such as vandalism, graffiti, & litter• Trees act as traffic calming agents (drivers perceive the streets as more narrow) Informal Seating at Key Locations
