Planting a tree provides many benefits:
- Reduces air-conditioning costs by providing shade
- Improves a home's appearance, which can help to increase a property's real estate value
- Provides a natural habitat for wildlife
- Reduces flooding by absorbing excess rainwater and increasing infiltration
- Removes significant amounts of carbon dioxide from the air, which reduces the impact on climate change
