SmartYards SoundEnergy Energy Saving Trees
Start saving 10% on your summer energy bill! Planting a single tree to shade your air conditioner can help start saving you money immediately. And each year that the tree grows the more money you will save. AC units can operate 10% more efficiently when shaded from the sun.
Start saving on your winter energy bill. Plant evergreen trees and shrubs around your home. Evergreens can insulate your home from cold winter winds that suck warmth from you home and raise your heating bill.
Plant fruit trees and begin harvesting fruit from your own orchard! Fruit doesn't have to be grown in California and shipped 2,000 miles to your grocery store. Revert your yard into the fruit producing farm it once was. Peach Pie!

SoundSchools Eco-Program to help students grow
Want to help the planet? Help Plant it! Get your school involved in SoundForest.org's Sound School Program! SoundForest.org can work with your school to create clubs or organize events to help your school become eco-friendly. The Sound School Program has a focus on planting small nurseries that will give saplings a chance to grow. As the saplings mature they become large enough to be planted at homes or even on school property. Your Sound Club can even have a tree sale to raise money to re-invest in future projects. This is a fun way to get your school involved in helping your school, your neighborhood, and your Planet!
SoundWater Riparian Zone Tree Planting
The riparian zone refers to the border of moist soils and plants that exist next to a body of water. Riparian zones can be composed of gently sloping shores, steep banks, or other types of terrain. Permanent plant species such as trees and shrub communities and specialized grasses and forbs grow in should be growing in these areas. These plant species, in turn, provide food and shelter for the rich diversity of wildlife living along the riverbank.
The existence of riverside vegetation is important to the health of the species that live within the river. Specifically, this vegetation helps maintain a river's health by influencing the amount and kind of sediment in the river. Riverside vegetation does this by anchoring soil, catching silt, filtering out pollutants, and absorbing nitrogen and phosphorus. Such vegetation also helps provide shade that cools the water and provides habitat for insects and their predators.
The effect of too much sedimentation can be seen when vegetation along riverbanks is removed by flooding or other events. Sediment washes back into the water, causing turbidity. Turbidity occurs when sediment is stirred up and suspended in water, and in a river can impair the respiration of fish or other aquatic organisms. Turbid conditions can also cause sediment to cover gravel used for fish-spawning, raise the temperature of the water, and bury submerged plants.
