Mature trees can reduce summer cooling costs by shading buildings and reducing ambient temperatures. They improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and can increase property values by 3-7%. Developed for LGC by the U.S. Forest Service's Western Center for Urban Forest Research & Education, this guide provides tree selection and planting guidelines and an extensive cost-benefit analysis. Tables and graphs quantify the impacts of street and shade trees on air quality and community energy along with maintenance and infrastructure costs.
