Caretakers of God's Creation

We know that being among trees is good for us but have you ever wondered whether their value can be calculated? The geographically small Arlington County has about 755,000 trees (compared to a human population of 238,000) that remove air pollutants, store carbon, prevent runoff, and  keep energy costs down. The calculated value for all the activity happening around us is $1.41 Billion! If you are curious about our bigger neighbor, check out Fairfax County’s Tree Commission Annual Report.   arlingtonva.us | fairfaxcounty.gov
