"...cities and developers stand to benefit from increasing the tree canopy cover: it sequesters carbon, helps manage storm water runoff, reduces the urban heat island effect and removes pollutants from the air, soil and water."

All acorns are different. Mine are packed with protein, fat & calories, making them a high-value food for wildlife, but they are also high in bad-tasting tannins. White oak trees, also found in my neighborhood, make less nutritious but tastier acorns, so animals snap them up.

Beautiful!

Leaves may be changing from green to brown, but they should never have to burn because of carelessness. Humans cause 9 out of 10 wildfires. If you plan to burn yard debris this fall, keep your pile small and check for burn bans in your area. #OnlyYou

Amazing

These are great! Retrofitted “green” living lamp posts in London reclaim water and run on solar power https://t.co/fbHZ7HS4Xf

There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. That may be true, but unsafe, polluted streets can certainly discourage #walktoschool. Then why not let kids and their parents design green healthy pathways to schools that shelter kids from the busy streets? #kidshealth

[A witness tree @awitnesstree]

In fall, I drop seeds (acorns) that are food for 100+ types of wildlife. Many of these animals, like squirrels and blue jays, carry my acorns a great distance before storing them underground. They become accidental gardeners of new trees!

[Arbor Day Foundation @arborday]

Planting trees is important. Planting different kinds of trees is proving important, as well. #timefortrees

[A witness tree @awitnesstree]

When it rains, as just now, I store extra water in my roots and bark. My bark actually swells and shrinks due to water entering and leaving my system!

1 large, healthy tree can provide a day's supply of oxygen for up to 4 people
