Benefit from Trees

While walking at Happy Rock Park this weekend, I found many several trees with signs attached to them.  It was interesting to see a number attached to the benefit we see from this tree.  Each tree had a different number.  This benefit can be seen in stormwater reduction, improved air quality, higher real estate values (and property tax receipts), carbon storage, and energy savings.  Visit www.heartlandtreealliance.org for more information.  


Yes it did rain a bit during my walk, thank goodness for hoodies.
