    Neighborhood Tree Planting 

    Join BEC Saturday, November 10 for our first of three neighborhood tree plantings. Thanks to a new grant from California Releaf and with your help we are going to add 100 trees to Chico's urban forest! 


    Why plant trees? There are many reasons to have a thriving urban forest. Here are just a few:

    clean the air
    filter storm runoff
    provide a beneficial cooling effect
    increase property values
    save electricity  
    save water used to produce electricity

    Funding for this California Climate Investments grant project has been provided through California ReLeaf and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), Urban and Community Forestry Program.
