Plants
Why this is important:
"Narberth’s
trees act as an urban canopy and help moderate our
temperatures and slow storm water runoff. During heavy
rainstorms our trees and bushes catch the rain before it
hits the ground. This gives the rainwater a better chance
to go into the soil instead of running off and possibly
overwhelming the drains in the streets, reducing the
possibility of flooding.
But, many of Narberth’s trees, particularly its tall shade
trees, are aging.
As they fall or are taken down,
it is important that new trees (including tall trees, not
just smaller trees) be planted to take their
places."
