A person planting a street tree gives a thumbs up.

Street trees have a lot of obvious value: more shade, cleaner air, and cooler neighborhoods. But urban forests also have hidden benefits!

🌳 Calm traffic
🌳 Support local small businesses
🌳 Lower crime rates
🌳 Nurture wildlife habitats
🌳 Create a psychological buffer between sidewalks and traffic
