Tree Value
Very few dispute that trees have a value. However, it is difficult to value all the many direct and indirect benefits contributed by trees, particularly when attempting to find a financial value that truly reflects the value of a tree.
Providing a financial value to a tree can be important when legal disputes arise, in order to inform the courts. It can also play a significant role in determining management strategies and tree maintenance funding.
Tree Evaluation Systems
There are a number of tree valuation systems around that have been developed to provide a financial value to a tree or group of trees. Each have their own strengths and weaknesses.
