There are clear connections between tree canopy and reduced stress among city residents, which are being found. Today, urban forestry is considered by many environmental advocates to be a vital community asset for a healthy community.
Natural Shade as a Cooling Streets System
There may be an increase in the temperature levels of big cities because of concrete pavements without any form of vegetative growth. The tree canopy provides natural shade, which reduces the heat impact on individuals and surrounding structures.
