Trees add beauty and create an environment beneficial to our mental health. Trees:

Add natural character to our cities and towns.
Provide us with colors, flowers, and beautiful shapes, forms and textures.
Screen harsh scenery.
Soften the outline of masonry, metal, and glass.
Can be used architecturally to provide space definition and landscape continuity.
Trees impact deeply on our moods and emotions, providing psychological benefits impossible to measure. A healthy forest growing in places where people live and work is an essential element of the health of the people themselves. Trees:

Create feelings of relaxation and well-being.
Provide privacy and a sense of solitude and security.
Shorten post-operative hospital stays when patients are placed in rooms with a view of trees and open spaces.
A well managed urban forest contributes to a sense of community pride and ownership.

Trees Reduce Air Pollution
Trees and other plants make their own food from carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, water, sunlight and a small amount of soil elements. In the process, they release oxygen (02) for us to breathe. Trees:
Help to settle out, trap and hold particulate pollutants (dust, ash, pollen and smoke) that can damage human lungs.
Absorb CO2 and other dangerous gases and, in turn, replenish the atmosphere with oxygen.
Produce enough oxygen on each acre for 18 people every day.
Absorb enough CO, on each acre, over a year’s time, to equal the amount you produce when you drive your car 26,000 miles.
