Buy a Tree from Moon Valley Nursery and help
Fight Crime in your Neighborhood!
A common expression from Moon Valley Nursery customers when they walk through our doors is that they cannot believe how large our trees are! Moon Valley Nursery is a grower direct nursery ‘from our farms to your yard’. One of the benefits of buying from a grower direct nursery is how large, vibrant and healthy our trees are.
It is reported that in addition to being pleasant to the eye, large trees can actually help you fight crime in your neighborhood.
A study by the U.S. Forest Service has found that less crime occurs in neighborhoods with big trees in their yards and on the streets. In contrast the study showed that more crime was committed or attempted at homes and neighborhoods with smaller trees.
Geoffrey Donavan from the U.S. Forest Service Department says “that large trees may be a signal to crooks that a neighborhood is well cared for, making it more likely criminals will be caught”. He adds that small trees may aid criminals by providing hiding places for criminals and obstructing views.
By purchasing large, healthy trees at any Moon Valley Nursery you not only beautify your surroundings, but you also add one more layer of protection against crime. Contact any Moon Valley Nursery staff member and they will be happy to guide you to the best tree selection for your yard.
