Be Thankful For Trees & Volunteer to Plant More!
We recognize the value of trees to the community and we support trees through the Street Tree Program , Put Down Roots in Tualatin, best practices in park maintenance and by meeting Tree City USA requirements for over 30 years.
Why be thankful for trees? Here’s what they do for us:
Quality of Life: Trees give a city or neighborhood a welcoming feeling. They slow traffic, reduce noise and shade sidewalks. Trees teach us about stillness, mindfulness and the interconnectedness of all life.
Property Values: In neighborhoods with many trees, property values are increase by 7 to 15%. Research shows that crime is reduced in greener neighborhoods.
Temperature Control: Urban trees cool our city streets. Well-placed trees around our homes can significantly reduce air-conditioning costs.
CO2 /Oxygen: A tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide each year, reducing global warming. A tree can release up to 13 pounds of oxygen per year.
Stream Quality: Trees filter and store water, reducing pollution, flooding, and soil erosion.
Habitat Diversity: Every part of a tree provides food for other living creatures: the seeds, fruit, leaves, needles, wood, and bark. Habitats with trees support a wide variety of living creatures, contributing to biodiversity.
