  1. Very enlightening article. I had no idea trees were disappearing so rapidly. While I have always realized many of the benefits of living with trees on or nearby my property it’s good to know all the other positive impacts that trees provide. I found the crime statistic particularly intriguing. You used the term “good quality canopy” and I hope that is taken to heart buy individuals or groups who become involved in planting trees. Not all trees are equal and improper selection can lead to a variety of problems and issues down the road. We will be planting several trees, shrubs and plants at our new home downtown this year. Indiana Native Plant and Wildflower Society has a great list of native plants and trees.

  2. Thanks for quantifying the benefits. The Indianapolis Old North Side Neighborhood Association made it a goal some 40 years ago to restore the street tree canopy in the neighborhood. Thanks to support from City of Indianapolis and support from KIB, we planted more than a 1000 trees in the last 40 years in the neighborhood. It makes a huge difference!
