Idaho Community Trees

Trees provide many benefits in urban settings. They reduce air and noise pollution, help conserve water, save energy, and reduce soil erosion, saving money, enhancing businesses and providing beauty to the places in which we live and work.

IDL provides communities with technical and educational assistance covering a wide range of services including: ordinance creation, program development and planning related to the strategic use of trees and community forest canopy.
