The Benefits of Urban Forests
An urban forest is a collection of naturally occurring or planted trees that grow within a city. There are numerous benefits to the presence of urban forests, trees, and native gardening in densely populated and developed areas. Proper planning and community involvement are important for positive results to be realized.

Benefits include:

  • Shade and lowered temperatures that mitigate extreme heat and the “urban heat island” effect
  • Reduced energy costs
  • Improved air quality by filtering air pollution
  • Reduced stormwater runoff
  • Shelter for wildlife
  • Decreased negative moods and improved mental health, read study here.
  • Beautification and increased property values
  • Recreational spaces and connection to nature
