Here are some benefits of Planting trees.
E N D
Benefits of planting trees • Reduce Erosion and Storm Runoff Pollution from storm runoff is fouling our waterways. Tree canopies deflect rain, causing it to hit the ground more slowly, increasing absorption. The planting of trees means improved water quality, resulting in less runoff and erosion. This allows more recharging of the ground water supply. Wooded areas also help prevent the transport of sediment and chemicals into streams.
Benefits of planting trees • Reduce winter heating bills A properly positioned Evergreen windbreak can buffer cold winter winds, reducing heating bills by over 10 percent.
Benefits of planting trees • Provide shelter and food for wildlife By providing safe shelter, food and nesting opportunities, trees attract all types of wildlife, from birds to squirrels.
Benefits of planting trees • Reduce air pollutants According to Ecology.com, trees are able to remove both gaseous pollutants and airborne particles. Gaseous pollutants absorbed by the leaves include ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide. Airborne particles such as dust and smoke are temporarily removed from the air by mechanical interception, primarily on leaf surfaces.
Benefits of planting trees • Reduce Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and slowing global warming.
