Boroondara are recognising the value of their street trees

How wonderful that Councils are beginning to use iTree and its suite of valuable assessment tools to assess the economic benefits of trees in the community. While we are not surprised at the reasons why the City of Boroondara would want to put a value to the enormous assets shielding and sheltering the great streets and roads of their community, we are a little bewildered at their estimated figure.

So what is i-Tree? i-Tree is a freely accessible peer-reviewed software program developed by the USDA Forest Service. The i-Tree suite of programs provides valuable information to municipalities, government agencies and communities on the economic benefits of their urban forests. 

By understanding the local, tangible ecosystem services that trees provide, i-Tree users can link urban forest management activities with environmental quality and community liveability. Whether it is for a single tree or an entire forest, i-Tree can provide baseline data that can be used to demonstrate value and set priorities for more effective decision-making.
