Tools

i-Tree offers several desktop and web-based applications. Based on years of US Forest Service research and development, these innovative applications provide managers and advocates with tools to quantify ecosystem services and benefit values of community trees and forests at multiple scales. The ability to articulate the significance of trees and forests in terms of pollution mitigation, storm water run-off reduction, carbon sequestration and storage and more has allowed i-Tree users to improve tree and forest management, plan strategically, increase awareness, engage decision makers and build new partnerships.
