Trees remove air pollution by lowering air temperature, through respiration and by retaining particulates.
Trees support many generations of birds and wildlife and improve community pride.
Trees clean the air and return pure oxygen, helping us all to breathe easier. Trees pay our carbon debt by absorbing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, slowing global climate change. Trees and green space save us money, reducing the cost of controlling storm-water and naturally cooling overheated cities and homes in the summer. Copyright 2000 City of Wichita, all rights reserved.
