During these times of high energy costs and tightening budgets, trees can help reduce both heating and cooling costs. Mature trees save energy by keeping buildings cooler during hotter months and providing a windbreak for them in the winter. Trees that lose their leaves in the winter are particularly helpful by providing cooling shade in the summer and letting the sunlight through during Oregon's cooler winter months.
