How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the Area to Plant in acres and the target Seedlings Per Acre (TPA) planting density.
- Enter Seedling Cost per tree, Planting Labor per acre, and Site Preparation cost per acre.
- Review Total Reforestation Cost and Cost Per Acre to compare against grant funding or timber values.
- Check Total Seedlings (with 10% buffer) to order the correct quantity accounting for mortality.
- Use the cost breakdown (seedlings, labor, site prep) to identify where savings are possible.
