Trees are essential for the health and sustainability of our planet. They provide us with oxygen, sequester carbon dioxide, prevent soil erosion, create habitats for wildlife, regulate water cycles, and help to protect against extreme weather events like floods and hurricanes. Trees also provide shade and cooling in hot climates, reduce noise pollution by absorbing sound waves, reduce air pollution by trapping toxic particles in their leaves and bark, and even contribute to improved mental health by creating calming environments.

Tree removal can help open up land for development where tree cover is too dense or unsafe (e.g., near power lines).
