In addition to the historical significance of trees there are many environmental and modern day benefits.  Pearland is proud to be recognized as a “Tree City USA” community.  We benefit from our trees in multiple ways.  First, people are attracted to a community with beautiful landscaping that includes trees for shade. In city urban spaces and your own neighborhood, a thriving tree canopy is important to keeping temperatures down in the summer.  Trees provide shelter and food for our diverse bird population.  Planting trees around your home increases the energy efficiency of your air conditioner in the summer months.  And finally, everyone benefits psychologically from having green spaces with trees.

Help us create a thriving tree canopy by planting proper trees in the proper place at your residence or volunteer with Keep Pearland Beautiful.  For more information about choosing and planting trees visit www.arborday.org and refer to ‘Right Tree, Right Place’.  To find out more information about how you can help Keep Pearland Beautiful, contact us at (281) 489-2795 or visit www.mykpb.org.
