Fun facts
Stay cool in summer
Planting trees on the sunniest streets filters direct sunlight, helping residents walk in shade and even reducing the temperature in your home by as much as 7 - 15°C. This reduces the need for air conditioning and may save you hundreds on your yearly electricity bill.
Making a home for wildlife
Half of Australia’s threatened native fauna live on the edge of urban areas. By planting trees in our community we can provide homes, food and shelter for our friendly native animals.
A breath of fresh air
Trees assist in reducing ground level ozone and absorb harmful pollutants, helping to clean the air around us.
Money does grow on trees
Streets and houses with established tree canopy can lead to increases in property values. Particularly in areas with low tree canopy cover, having a tree on your property may increase its value by thousands.
