Shade Trees Worth $500 Each 



New York Supreme Court Decides 



A construction company in a New York town cut down several shade trees. The 

 owner sued. The court awarded him $500 for each tree destroyed and $1,000 

 as general damages. 



The court considered that trees adorn and increase the value of property, and give 

 health, comfort, enjoyment, and protection to their owners. They cannot be replaced 

 for years, and during this time the owners are deprived of their benefits. 

 This is the value of shade trees. If you do not have them you are deprived of their 

 benefits. Why not plant them now? It costs only a couple of dollars to plant a 

 tree. Start some growing this spring, and before you know it, you will have $500 trees.
