All About Trees

Trees are environmental superheroes. They provide shade, which can lower surface and air temperatures; they help clean our air by absorbing carbon dioxide while also producing oxygen; they provide habitat for wildlife; they can help us save energy when they are properly placed around buildings to reduce air conditioning needs, and so much more.
