Your Trees Benefit the Earth. A hidden benefit of trees on your property is their capability to capture and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide is the chief culprit in the increased threat of global warming in recent decades.
Through the process of photosynthesis, trees take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, storing the carbon in their wood. In return, trees release life-giving oxygen back into the atmosphere. Trees Increase Property Value Natural and planted stands of trees, along with plantings near homes and buildings, add value to property. One study shows that, on the average, trees contribute as much as 27 percent of appraised land value of non-agricultural land. The same study reported that land that was two-thirds wooded appraised at more than 36 percent higher value than open land in the same area.
