CommunityTrees.org is a non-profit website designed to promote the planting and care of trees in urban and community neighborhoods.

Why promote the planting and care of community trees? Because research shows that trees have wonderful social, environmental and economic benefits for neighborhoods.

Socially, community trees add to the enjoyment of living and work environments improving public health through reduction of stress.

Environmentally, trees provide climate control, soil erosion protection, carbon dioxide and oxygen balancing, filtering of pollution, energy conservation, and wildlife habitat.

Economically, trees increase property value, reduce heating and cooling costs, and offset environmental and health costs.

The USDA Forest Service and the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council (NUCFAC) sponsor communitytrees.org. NUCFAC is a 15-member committee created by the 1990 Farm Bill to provide advice to the United States Secretary of Agriculture on urban and community forestry.
