PLANT A TREE

Homeowners - do you have
room, at curbside, or on your
front lawn for a tree?

Trees add to your property values
absorb carbon dioxide, emit oxygen
helping to combat air pollution;
act as air conditioners keeping
you cool in summer and beautify
your property and the neighborhood.

Mature trees protect pedestrians from
speeding out of control vehicles.

Curbside trees have a shorter lifespan
because of road salt damage.

Trees planted on front lawns have
a better chance of surviving longer.

The City of Albany has a tree planting
program offered in the Spring and Fall
of each year.

County Soil and Water Conservation
Districts have tree/shrub/plant sales
of young stock at reasonable prices
each Spring.

Choose a tree that is urban hardy
and the right size and shape for your
situation.

Check with your local utility before
you dig/plant to avoid underground
water,sewer and gas lines.
