Trees
Trees for the Next Generation
Trees are important to Aurora's neighborhoods because they provide environmental, social, economic, and property value benefits. They:
Naturally reduce air pollution by filtering out harmful gasses and replenishing the atmosphere with oxygen
Lower heating and cooling costs
Reduce surface water runoff resulting from storms; tree roots stabilize the soil and prevent erosion
Reduce noise pollution by acting as sound barriers
Increase residential and commercial property values
Enhance economic stability by attracting businesses and visitors
Improve the consumer environment and help increase spending within business districts
Provide food and shelter for wildlife
National Tree Benefit Calculator
Use the
National Tree Benefit Calculator
tool to calculate the economic and ecological benefits of your tree.
Tree Identifier
Use this
online Arbor Day Foundation tool
to identify what kind of tree you have or are looking at.
Tree City USA
Over the past 20 years, the City of Aurora has received the Tree City USA designation.
The
Tree City USA Program
, sponsored by the National Arbor Day foundation in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters, encourages better care of community forests by providing technical assistance, public attention, and national recognition for urban and community forestry programs in thousands of towns and cities that more than 93 million Americans call home.
