Trees Make Good Neighbours

Reduces Air Pollution

Street trees improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and intercepting harmful particulates.

Fighting Climate Change

Increasing tree cover in towns and cities by just 10% can keep surface temperatures at current levels despite climate change (University of Manchester)

Improves Image

Street trees improve the image of neighbourhoods and make them even better places to live, work and invest.

Builds Communities

Getting residents involved in caring for trees helps them reconnect with their neighbours.

Boosting Health

Research shows that children who live in tree-lined streets have lower rates of asthma (Columbia University).

Benefits Wildlife

As well as being great for people, street trees also offer much needed habitat for wildlife too.
