TREES

Make it stand out.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

TREES ARE VITAL

As the Earth’s largest plant, trees give us oxygen, store carbon, stabilize the soil and give life to the world’s wildlife.

The canopies of trees act as a physical filter, trapping dust and absorbing pollutants from the air. Each individual tree removes up to 1.7 kilos every year.

Not only do trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow but that the carbon that they store in their wood helps slow the rate of global warming.

Did you also know that trees reduce wind speeds and cool the air as they lose moisture and reflect heat upwards from their leaves. It’s estimated that trees can reduce the temperature in a city by up to 7°C.

"The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit."

— Nelson Henderson

THE BENEFITS

  • SOCIAL BENEFITS

    Simply put, trees make life nicer. It has been shown that spending time among trees and green spaces reduces the amount of stress that we carry around with us in our daily lives.

    Hospital patients have been shown to recover from surgery more quickly when their hospital room offered a view of trees.

    Children have been shown to retain more of the information taught in schools if they spend some of their time outdoors in green spaces.

  • ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

    Trees reduce the urban heat island effect through evaporative cooling and reducing the amount of sunlight that reaches parking lots and buildings. This is especially true in areas with large impervious surfaces, such as parking lots of stores and industrial complexes.

    Trees improve our air quality by filtering harmful dust and pollutants such as ozone, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide from the air we breathe.

    Trees reduce the amount of storm water runoff, which reduces erosion and pollution in our waterways and may reduce the effects of flooding.

    Many species of wildlife depend on trees for habitat. Trees provide food, protection, and homes for many birds and mammals.

  • ECONOMIC BENEFITS

    Well placed trees can reduce your cooling costs in the summer by shading the south and west sides of your home. If deciduous trees are used they will allow the sun to pass through and warm your home in the winter.

    The value of a well landscaped home with mature healthy trees can be as much as 10% higher than a similar home with no or little landscaping.

    Indirect economic benefits of trees include the reduction of the energy we use lightening the demand placed on the infrastructure, thus reducing operating costs which can be passed on to the consumer.
