Trees are awesome because:

• Planting in the right location around your house can reduce your energy costs by providing shade in the summer and blocking cold winds in the winter
• They can add significant value to your property
• They help to clean water and the air, prevent soil erosion, cool the air and prevent water loss
• They generate jobs – whether it is in municipalities, local woodlots, or the forest industry
• Provide shelter for wildlife including birds, bugs, and small mammals
• Provide a wealth of health benefits including reducing depression, improving well-being
• They help fight climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide out of the air
• They provide us with wood products like furniture, skateboards, paper, lumber for houses and musical instruments
