Plant a Tree

updated: Thursday, April 26, 2012

The City of St. Louis Park loses hundreds of trees a year due to development, diseases and other factors. Unfortunately not all trees are being replaced on private properties (the City does try to replace trees removed in parks and boulevards on a one for one basis within a year of tree removal) and our mature tree canopy is diminishing. 

Trees are very important to our urban environment, providing benefits such as filtering our air, increasing oxygen, shading our city (keeping our energy costs down) and increasing property values.
