Trees: The Secret to Cooler Cities?

Did you know planting more trees could make city nights way cooler—literally? A new Vegas study found street trees can drop temps by almost 30°F in their shade, and citywide nighttime temps by 3°F! But it’s not just about the heat—more trees also mean better health and even slower cognitive aging. Desert cities don’t get as much cooling as wetter places, but trees still make a big difference. Would you want more trees on your street? #Science #UrbanTrees #CityLife
