Westfield DPW Needs to Plant More Trees This Year

I like trees and tree-lined streets. Trees offer a wide range of benefits that make suburban communities healthier, more attractive, and more livable. Environmentally, they help clean the air by absorbing pollutants and releasing oxygen, while also cooling neighborhoods by providing shade on hot summer days. Their roots manage stormwater by absorbing rain and minimizing runoff, which helps prevent flooding and soil erosion. Trees also support local wildlife by offering shelter and food for birds and squirrels.
