Talking about trees, as usual! 🌳🌲 Why do we plant trees here at Trees for Cities? They...: - Help reduce the severity of the urban heat island effect - Absorb CO2 - Provide valuable habitat for wildlife - Can help reduce the effects of particulate pollution - Can help reduce the effects of flooding - Are great for mental wellbeing - Bring people together on our community planting days - Also look beautiful!
