Trees provide oxygen and purify the air

Trees consume carbon and produce oxygen.
Trees don’t just enrich the air we breathe They also purify it, they are able to absorb pollutant gases such as nitrogen oxides, ozone, ammonia and sulfur dioxide.

Trees lower the air temperature

Trees block out up to 90% of the sun’s radiation and cooling the ground beneath it, they also use the process called evapotranspiration to block radiation from the sun before it hits the ground.
When the sun’s rays hit a tree’s canopy, they cause water to evaporate from the leaves, creating a cooling effect that can decrease local air temperatures by several degrees.

Trees help prevent flooding

Concidering that trees consume alot of water therefore allowing the ground to absorb more water hence preventing water runoff and flooding and by holding the soil together with their roots, trees can also reduce the risk of erosion and property damage from flash floods.

Trees help sustain wildlife

Trees create habitats for all kinds of wildlife, they dabble up both as a food source and a natural habitat for wildlife.  

Trees are good for our health

Exposure to trees and nature has also been proven to reduce mental fatigue and help in  concentration, Trees makes you feel calmer, happier and more creative and With exposer to certain chemicals released by trees (known as phytoncides), research reveals that everything from reduced blood pressure and anxiety to increased pain threshold, and even an increase of anti-cancer proteins.

Trees improve soil quality

Trees reduce soil erosion, improve fertility and give soil more moisture. Fallen tree leaves also turn into valuable nutrients for tree growth, and support microorganism development.
