The trees around your house provide similar services in your neighborhood that trees do in a forest.
To learn more about the environmental benefits of
trees in urban and suburban environments, you can
use various tree benefit calculators based on i-Tree.
i-Tree is a software suite, from the U.S. Forest Service, that consists of tools that calculate the value
of trees in urban areas and your home.
A tree’s value is expressed in terms of services it provides and the value of these services. This information helps communities strengthen the structure and management of their urban forests as well as advocacy efforts to build and preserve urban forests.
By determining what services trees can provide for urban ecosystems, people can increase environmental quality and livability of urban areas.
Use one of the following calculators to determine the monetary value of individual trees on your property.
