We Use Trees to Improve Durham's Health, Wealth, and Happiness.
Health
Trees make us healthy! Trees lower our incidents of asthma, stroke, heart attack, diabetes and heat illness. They're also linked to a reduction in violent crime.

Wealth
Trees build our wealth! Trees can lower our air conditioning bills by half, increase the value of our homes and help our businesses earn more money.
|
Happiness
Trees make us happy! Trees lower our rates of anxiety and depression while increasing our ability to focus, our sense of community and our feelings of happiness.
