Trees offer a myriad of eco-benefits to a community, including filtering air by removing carbon and pollutants.

A larger and more diverse tree canopy increases those benefits and reaches a larger population. We are lucky to live in San Diego, one of the country's most biodiverse areas - there are more than 400 species of trees in Balboa Park alone.
