National Tree Benefit Calculator

The National Tree Benefit Calculator is an online tool that helps people understand the value trees provide in a community. By inputting details about individual trees—such as their size, location, and type—it estimates benefits like how they improve air quality, save energy, increase property values, and reduce stormwater runoff. The calculator highlights the environmental and economic advantages of urban trees, encouraging informed decisions about tree planting and preservation. It’s a useful resource for residents, planners, and policymakers to recognize the importance of trees in creating healthier, more sustainable communities.
