Trees

Trees have many environmental benefits. They reduce carbon dioxide levels and filter and absorb pollution and noise. Trees also produce oxygen, encourage wildlife, offer shade and shelter, are attractive to look at and can help reduce the stress of modern life. Trees may be protected and these web pages include further information on the implications for you and your property.
