Healthy Trees Are Essential

Vibrant trees act as nature’s lungs, enhancing air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. The U.S. Department of Agriculture states that a single mature tree can sequester up to 48 pounds of CO₂ each year. In Johnson City, where we relish the rich greenery of the Appalachian foothills, trees are essential for sustaining our local air quality and tackling climate concerns.

Moreover, trees play a vital role in preventing soil erosion, a pressing issue in our mountainous area. Their roots anchor the soil, lessening runoff during heavy rainfall, which is particularly critical given Johnson City’s average annual precipitation of 45 inches. The absence of healthy trees would put hillsides and properties at an increased risk of erosion, resulting in lasting damage to landscapes and infrastructure.
