The i-Tree software has helped countless communities and organizations quantify the value and structure of trees. Now, i-Tree Lessons is expanding the audience to school-age children. In continued partnership with Casey Trees, Davey is helping develop a new, science-focused curriculum for middle school students based on i-Tree. The i-Tree Lessons curriculum, which is outlined on itreelessons.com, explores the concepts of forest inventory, assessment and use of i-Tree Tools to satisfy requirements of the Next Generation Science Standards for middle school students. The goal of i-Tree Lessons is for students to use i-Tree software to design a possible solution to a real world, place-based problem: increased atmospheric carbon dioxide contributing to climate change. By educating the clients of the future, Davey hopes to demonstrate the value of high-quality tree care, increasing preservation and stewardship.
