The benefits of trees to a community are more than just providing shade and enhancing the look of the area. Trees reduce air pollution, cool the air and aid in reducing surface runoff, one of the main causes of water pollution.
The City of Weston maintains a tree inventory, which assesses the vegetation structure, function and value of the trees and shrubs that are located on City property, such as along public roadways, landscaped berms, swales and inside City parks. The data from 34,573 trees were first analyzed in 2016 using the i-Tree Eco model developed by the U.S. Forest Service, Northern Research Station. In 2025, Weston's Tree Inventory, which is updated monthly, totals 41,582 trees as of March 2025. The tree inventory helps the City to identify the value of the urban forest in terms of replacement (structural value), as well as the functional values that the urban forest accomplishes in Weston.
