TREESDAVIDSON

TreesDavidson preserves and restores our tree canopy. Trees play a vital role in maintaining the health of our environment by:

Cleaning our air (filtering and absorbing carbon dioxide)
Reducing storm water run-off (carrying pollutants like pesticides and fertilizers to new areas)
Cooling our streets and homes without energy use

Trees also increase home values. According to the Arbor Day Foundation, large trees can increase your home’s value by 3 to 15%. And oh yes – they are beautiful, complex organisms that adapt and change before our eyes!

In addition to planting trees in the community, Davidson Lands Conservancy is working with the Town of Davidson to better manage our tree canopy. These efforts for 2019 include:

Strengthening the Town’s Tree Ordinance to protect trees with historical and heritage value
Updating the Town’s street tree inventory, last taken in 2007
Working with local property owners to improve our tree canopy

Our trees are an important asset to the health and well being of our town. Every mature tree we lose takes years to replace. Davidson Lands Conservancy’s TreesDavidson program works now to assure the health of our tree canopy for future generations. Get involved today with TreesDavidson! We’ll let you know about all our planned activities.
