Why should a wastewater utility care about trees? Trees have saved over 100 million dollars in avoided costs, keeping wastewater rates low and improving watershed health, while building community. After ten years, the collective impact is over 4 million new native trees and shrubs, conserving 15,000 acres and planting vegetation along 60 stream miles. This presentation tells our story, and we also share diverse perspectives from stakeholders, including agriculture, business, school children and environmental groups through short videos.
