Why tree planting is important
- Planting trees provides more shade and cools the air, helping lower energy costs and reduces peak electric demand.
- The trees planted represent an energy savings of over 14 million kilowatt-hours. That’s the equivalent of removing 7,800 vehicles from the roads each year.
- The Community Tree Planting program also helps diversify the tree population. A diverse urban forest is the best way to ensure resiliency against tree diseases and pests like the emerald ash borer.
