Can you "change" the environment in your "local" area? - eviltoast

so title, as in if you had 50 acres and planted trees, fixed ponds and water ways, etc. would this allow more humidity, promote snow…? like a micro climate?

    I think with 50 acres, you should be able to do a lot to combat the urban heat island effect. I say this based on my bike commute which alternates between suburban subdivisions and trails over conservation land. The trails always feel noticeably cooler, even where there are no trees casting shade. The coolest spots do tend to be where have trees and/or water nearby, but even open fields feel cooler.
