“Placing a value on urban forests and alternative suburban landscapes”

LACF funding, as well as funding from other sources, was used to develop and test a system of determining the value of urban trees. CityGreen along with Geographic Information Systems software (ArcView) was employed to test the feasibility of placing a monetary and environmental value on urban trees. The results provided additional information that has since been used in other research studies.
