Sylvan Cities
Tree cover surrounding Oasis-Cities will be at least 30% – more than double the U.K’s paltry average of 13%
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
