WHY PLANT SHADE TREES?

Planting shade trees is an easy, affordable, and sustainable way to positively affect the environment.

From beautifying neighborhoods and increasing property values to improved air quality and home energy savings, shade trees have many economic, environmental, and social benefits.

 

LEAVE THE LEAVES

Did you know, that leaving the leaves on your property (including mulching, mowing, or composting) can make your yard healthier and save you time and money? In addition to the nutrients that feed the soil and plants, leaves also benefit wildlife. Learn more on the County’s leaf webpage.
