Trees Atlanta Inc

The benefits of trees are frequently underappreciated in our society. They are the world's lungs and provide numerous benefits to society as a whole including cleaner air, stormwater management, water filtration, ground-level cooling, beautification, and habitat for wildlife. Additionally, it has been shown in numerous studies that tree lined streets and neighborhoods result in lower automobile speeds and lower rates of crime. Unfortunately, trees are often in the way of real estate development and are removed and replaced by buildings, sidewalks, and parking lots. Those changes not only remove the positive benefits of trees, but they create negative ramifications owing to increase impervious surface that exacerbates flooding and the volume of chemicals and other pollutants entering our waterways. Trees Atlanta's work shades sidewalks, stabilizes stream banks and other natural areas and in general, replaces trees that have been lost to both natural causes and development.
