Amy Fleming\u2019s \u201cThe importance of urban forests: why money really does grow on trees\u201d outlines the multifaceted benefits that urban trees have on the cities and people around them. Fleming reports on the research exploring the presence of trees and the benefits it can have on people\u2019s health, both physically and mentally. Public health expert William Bird claims that natural environments reduce stress and increase empathy (qtd. in Fleming 4). Fleming also reminds us of the plethora of economic benefits and \u201cecological services\u201d that trees have on cities, and how city representatives have convened to discuss \u201csustainable urban development\u201d (2). Fleming lists several of these benefits, including energy saving and improving air quality, benefits that save cities hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. and Fleming\u2019s point is that the objective impact that urban trees carry is no longer something that city officials can remain unaware of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
