Welcome to the i-Tree Planting Calculator!
This tool helps you estimate the long-term environmental benefits from a tree planting project in terms of carbon dioxide, air pollution, stormwater impacts, energy savings, and canopy cover.
How to use it:
It is easy to get these estimates!
Enter groups of trees with the following:
- Tree species
- Size of trees at planting
- Condition of the trees
- The number of trees in the group
- Project lifetime years
Optionally, you can enter more values to fine tune your estimates:
- Distance and direction to the nearest building
- Estimated mortality of the trees over the project lifetime
- Specific greenhouse gas values for your region
The following estimates are calculated in amounts and dollar values:
- Carbon dioxide sequestered
- Carbon dioxide avoided due to reduction in building energy use
- Energy conserved
- Air pollutants captured and avoided
- Stormwater filtered
- Tree total biomass
- Canopy cover
