Improve Local Water Quality

Trees are powerful (and natural) water treatment plants. They naturally reduce polluted runoff and supercharge a stream’s ability to clean itself. Buffers planted along stream sides have been proven to increase a stream’s ability to process nutrients and organic matter itself by up to 8 times.

Combat Soil Erosion and Runoff

Trees’ strong roots hold soil in place. They reduce the impact of stormwater runoff by intercepting rainfall, enhancing the ability of soils to absorb water, increasing evapotranspiration into the air, and by filtering out pollutants.
