That's wonderful! Having so many #trees in your city is so beneficial. It helps all life forms. Our city is invested in tree growth as well. We even have our own tree nursery. I'm part of the Tree Stewards program here. We have 2 days of training on the benefits of trees, urban canopy, tree health and disease. Next is 15 hrs of #volunteering. It's got me hyped up to make our #city more livable. Enjoy your shade! #urban #urbantrees #sustainability

Larger American cities with the most street trees

The following list identifies cities across the United States with populations exceeding 100,000 residents that have the most street trees. Fully one-third of all the cities listed are located in California, exemplifying the important of street trees to Californians.

Cities that have not been included meet one or more of the following:

• They do not meet the minimum number of 10,000 street trees.
• They do not publish the number of street trees in their community online.
• They do not separate out their number of street trees from other publicly owned trees.
• They do not have a street tree program.

Whenever possible, both publicly and privately owned street trees are included in these numbers. Many of the tallies provided are estimates that are rounded off by the local community. More exact numbers reveal cities where a street tree census has taken place. In those instances where an approximate range was provided online, this post utilized the midpoint of that range.

Given the importance of trees generally, and street trees specifically, in helping cool cities, as well as improved stormwater absorption, wildlife habitat, scenic beauty, and increased property values, most cities should be escalating their street tree and public tree planting efforts. The cost-benefit comparisons of trees are clearly in favor of their strong benefit to the community.

As additional information becomes available, the list will be updated accordingly.

Peace!

My fave #BigTree yesterday, was this large #HorseChestnut #tree on a side road beside Wark Street Commons Community Park in #VictoriaBC in #QuadraVillage.

In Britain & Ireland, their seeds are used for the popular children's game conkers. During WWI there was a campaign asking everyone to collect the seeds & donate to the government. The #conkers were used as a source of #starch for #fermentation using the Clostridium acetobutylicum method devised by Chaim Weizmann to produce #acetone for use as a solvent for the production of #cordite, which was then used in #MilitaryArmaments. Weizmann's process could use any source of starch, but the government chose to ask for conkers to avoid causing starvation by depleting food sources. But conkers were found to be a poor source & the factory only produced acetone for 3 months; however, they were collected again in WWII for the same reason.
