Trees are beneficial to us as well as the environment. Trees provide shade, clearner air, privacy,
a home for various wildlife and can conserve energy. They brighten up our surroundings and even
ehance property values.
Trees can also delevop into a hazard and somewhat of a nuisance. A tree size that is not compatible
with it's location could cause conflicts such as interference with sewer lines, rooflines and power
lines. Trees in powerlines can be very dangerous. A branch in a power line can turn the tree into
a live wire and cause power outages.
