In the past 18 years, the City Trees program has provided more than 25,000 trees for planting on private property. Since 2006, the City of Minneapolis has funded the City Trees program, a low-cost way for folks to help the city’s tree canopy grow and enjoy all the benefits of trees.
Benefits of trees
Trees help clean the air and reduce outdoor temperatures in the summer. They save energy and lower utility bills by providing shade in the summer and protecting against wind in the winter. Trees reduce the amount of stormwater runoff into lakes and rivers. They even help reduce stress. Larger trees provide more benefits than smaller trees.
