Planting Trees in Spring Valley

We all know that trees do a lot more than just provide shade. They soak up gallons of water reducing storm water runoff, act as a filtration system for pollutants in water and soil, help regulate water flow, recharge ground water, improve soil microbiology, trap carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, produce oxygen, and reduce erosion.  So why is Spring Valley losing trees at an alarming rate?
