Their expertise in identifying trees conducive to our climate, functionality and aesthetics has made them invaluable. Our mutual goal - is long term distribution of trees in the Richmond Community. To further our environmental commitment, we have joined the American Public Power Association s Tree Power Program . We will facilitate the distribution of trees to be planted in the Richmond community. Trees help prevent soil erosion, provide wildlife habitats, beautify city streets, and reduce environmental noise and greenhouse gas levels.
Strategic landscaping is also an excellent method for conserving energy.
Clean the Air - Trees produce oxygen that we breathe. In addition, trees remove air pollution by lowering air temperature, by releasing water into the atmosphere, and by retaining particulate. By reducing the need for heating and cooling systems, trees also reduce emissions that contribute to atmospheric carbon dioxide and the greenhouse effect. This will result in decreased maximum power plant capacity. More trees will help absorb carbon dioxide produced by power plants that burn fossil fuels.
