Gazing at trees is stress-reducing and forest air is healing

TREES ARE GOOD FOR YOU..!

The importance of trees in cities…

  • They produce oxygen and soak up Carbon Dioxide
  • They clean and cool the air
  • They filter urban pollutants
  • They provide shade on hot days
  • They regulate water flow and soak up excess rainfall 
  • Habitat for birds and other wildlife 
  • Stress reduction – good for physical and mental health
  • Mature trees are beautiful to behold
  • They increase property values

BUT TREES ARE NOT ALWAYS WELCOME

Many people don’t want to live next to trees because of….

  • subsidence
  • broken pavements
  • light and sun blocked
  • fruit, branches, leaves, bird droppings, etc, falling on their cars
  • damp slippery leaves on ground in winter
