i-Tree Software Suite
The Davey Institute cooperatively developed the
i-Tree software suite, which allows communities
to strengthen their urban forest management by
quantifying the benefits and services that trees
provide. By better understanding the ecosystem
services that trees provide, i-Tree users can
link urban forest management activities with
environmental quality and community livability.
Davey worked alongside the USDA Forest Service,
Arbor Day Foundation, Society of Municipal
Arborists, International Society of Arboriculture
and Casey Trees to develop the tools. i-Tree is
considered the industry standard for assessing
tree and community forest benefits.
