4 What is Green Infrastructure? An approach to wet weather management that combines features of our NATURAL ENVIRONMENT SOILS and PLANTS into practices and technologies that promote infiltration, evapotranspiration, ti and dthe capture and reuse of stormwater to maintain or restore natural hydrology. Green Infrastructure for Clean Water: Trees, Roots, and their Role in Stormwater Management September 2011
5 Green Infrastructure is The preservation and restoration of natural landscape features (such as forests, floodplains and The use of practices wetlands) that include trees include rain gardens, porous pavements, green roofs, infiltration planters, and rainwater capture and reuse.

7 Trees & Urban Forest provide multiple benefits Green Infrastructure for Clean Water: Trees, Roots, and their Role in Stormwater Management September 2011
8
9 Trees. A savings for homeowners, businesses, and government Save over 20% on annual air conditioning and heating costs
10
11 Trees. Vital to Community Health. Tree-filled neighborhoods are more sociable and safer.
12 Trees. Important to Human Health. Healthier environments for us to live and breathe. 100 trees remove 248 lbs of air pollutants per year Lower pediatric asthma rates Reduced volatile organic compounds
13 Tree Houses Tree houses are more valuable and sell faster! Each large front yard tree adds about 1% to sales price Large specimen trees can add 10%+ to property values
14 Cedar Wax Wings The Birds and the Bees - The deer and the leaves Terry Spivey, USDA Forest Service, Bugwood.org bald eagle Trees provide critical habitat for birds and evening grosbeak wildlife and participation in birding is very high!

15 Trees Mean Better Business. Trees create more business! In tree-lined commercial districts... More frequent ent shopping Longer shopping trips Shoppers spend more for parking Shoppers spend 12% more for goods Green Infrastructure for Clean Water: Trees, Roots, and their Role in Stormwater Management September 2011
16 Trees Pay Us Back. What 100 large, mature street trees can do. Costs = $148,000 Planting Pruning Irrigation Sidewalk Repair Litter Legal /Ad Admin Removal/Disposal Benefits = $379,000 Energy Air Quality Runoff Real Estate Pay Off: $231,000 Looking for a good ROI? How about a 250%! Green Infrastructure for Clean Water: Trees, Roots, and their Role in Stormwater Management September 2011
17 Trees. A Stormwater Utility. 100 mature trees catch about 139,000 gallons of rainwater per year... - Less $ for stormwater control - Cleaner water Green Infrastructure for Clean Water: Trees, Roots, and their Role in Stormwater Management September 2011
