Goals
The Goal of TREES ACROSS RALEIGH:
- To improve the City of Raleigh's appearance, foster greater community pride, and promote economic development by planting trees throughout the City.
The Benefits of TREES ACROSS RALEIGH:
- By focusing on volunteer labor, our projects encourage all Raleigh citizens to join together in a community wide effort to improve their City and take greater pride in it.
- Trees provide shade to residences and businesses, and thus, can decrease energy consumption and energy bills naturally.
- Trees slow the flow of stormwater runoff and benefit the City by decreasing the burden on municipal facilities.
- Planting trees will decrease the City's long-term maintenance costs because trees are cheaper to maintain than grass.
- Trees can improve the fair market value and appearance of surrounding properties.
- Planting trees will improve the City's appearance to visitors, both those traveling to the City on routine business or in connection with major events like the Tour du Pont or Special Olympics.
The Costs of TREES ACROSS RALEIGH:
- The City will not incur costs beyond those already associated with the maintenance of public areas because the trees, materials and labor will be donated or purchased with money raised through private fund-raising efforts.
