The benefits of Dillon's public trees are numerous.
The Dillon Tree Board utilizes the USDA i-Trees Program to inventory and
calculate the benefits and values of the public trees in the Dillon
Community. The values are calculated from energy savings, storm-water
run-off, air quality, CO2 reduction, and aesthetic value.
Some of the many benefits trees provide: • Reduce Stormwater Runoff • Protect Water Quality • Reduce Air Pollution • Energy Demands • Lower Summer Air Temperature • Improve Human Health and Well-being • Increase Workplace Productivity • Provide Wildlife Habitat • Enhance Property Values • Improve Concentration and Academic Achievement • Provide Beauty and Natural Aesthetics • Reduce Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide |
