i-Tree LogoPart of the work of the Roanoke Park Tree Inventory included entering the data into the U.S. Forest Service's i-Tree Streets program. This program generates data on the trees to quantify their value in a wide range of metrics.

Have you ever seen signs on trees in Kansas City that said "This tree pays us back X dollars"? Those figures are generated by i-Tree Streets and represented the value a tree can give us over its lifetime by reducing heating/cooling costs, soaking up stormwater, improving air quality and sequestering carbon. It adds up. Here's a Heartland Tree Alliance page about it: http://bridgingthegap.org/heartland-tree-alliance/treetags/

Roanoke Park's trees pay us back $153,061 every year!
(Even more since not every tree in the park was included in the inventory.)

See below for the full reports from i-Tree Streets using the data from the Roanoke Park Tree Inventory.
