Planting new native trees every year replenishes the canopy, supports birds and wildlife, shades homes, captures carbon dioxide, retains storm waters preserving the health of our Lake, and increases property values across all of Lake Barcroft. Planting new trees now ensures that they are established before more of our ageing trees are lost.
