Everyone enjoys driving down a street where many years earlier, a thoughtful forbearer planted a row of trees. The shade, protection and comfort the stately beauties currently provide for residents and visitors to the neighbor hood are contagious. Utah is not particularly known for its trees. But there are many cities and neighborhoods that make it a priority to plant and maintain trees, pointed out Jerry Goodspeed, Utah State University Extension horticulturist. The trees that surround us and enhance our lives in the cities are our connection to nature, commented the USU horticulturist There are numerous benefits to growing trees in Carbon County and at locations throughout the state, explained Goodspeed. . Besides the feelings of peace and calm they provide, trees also improve quality of life. Financially, the trees can increase the value of the homes they surround by some estimates as much as 20 percent Who couldn't benefit from their home being worth more money? asked the USU horticulturist. Other obvious advantages are the shade and protection from the elements that the trees offer, added Goodspeed. The shade provided by trees can reduce cooling bills by as much as 40 percent during the heat of the summer. Not only do trees offer cooling shade, but they also cool the air as they transpire water for their own cooling system. And most trees act as a windbreak, reducing heat loss to. a home during the winter months. A few other rewards for having trees around a home include better air and water quality, a reduction in noise pollution, slower residential traffic and a friendlier walking area. Although urban forests are beneficial, the trees can also be hard work, indicated Goodspeed. Most great urban forests take a little planning and do not just spring up like a native forest The key to successful urban forestry is dedicated people caring about their cities, adopting tree ordinances, working on tree boards and helping other residents make wise tree decisions. Another important element is a communitys willin to make an investment in trees, pointed outI foe USU culturist Because there is not an immediate financial benefit, and trees require maintenance throughout their lives, some communities are hesitant to put money and resources into their future. The next decision in developing a good, healthy urban forest is to choose the right trees to plant Although some trees are cheap and fast growing, they can be more trouble than they are worth. Researching tree varieties before planting can help ensure them a long, uneventful life and minimize any problems with their care. Once trees are up and growing, they require some annual maintenance, continued the USU horticulturist The first few years, foe trees need some pruning and train- - , ing. This should be handled by someone who is knowledge-- : able about proper pruning and care. frees also require water when young,! and possibly y. throughout their lives, depending upon their location, Another factor to consider is leaves littering the street each fall Although I consider leaves a blessing because they can be composted, other people struggle with their removal and disposal, remarked Goodspeed. Occasionally, a tree may pose some potentialdanger from a broken branch and a professional will need to carefully remove the hazard. ' frees eventually die and need to be replaced. Although people may think trees live forever, in reality, they have" a life span just like everything else. ; Once a tree dies, remove it and plant another in its place. The time, work and trouble trees create are greatly outweighed by their benefits. Plus, future generations will thank us for foe effort and forethought we put into nurturing a healthy urban forest, concluded foe USU horticulturisL.ft''"!.

The teams will focus on par- ticular types of claims, such as appeals, or claims at varying levels of preparation for deci- or award action, pointed out the VA officials. For example, service-codisability compensation requires evidence showing that the injury or illness claimed by the veteran can be anociated with the time foe veteran was in service. If foe evidence shows foe designated association, then the degree of disability must be de- tennined in order for an award benefits to be made to foe veteran. Another specialized team, a public contact group, will be devoted to providing customer to veterans who walk in, the office about or benefit claims, continued the VA officials. More than half of all calls re-ceived at regional offices are for general information, added foe VA representatives.
