Abstract
Trees make a world of difference in communities: the difference between sandy, dirty lots and shaded parks for baseball, picnics, and quiet walks; and between steamy, sunbaked streets, and friendly, shady neighborhoods. Trees help conserve energy, give wildlife a home, and increase property values. They also clean the air we breathe, hold the topsoil, and keep rivers running clear. But trees do not just happen. Communities need to plant trees and provide for their care.
