How to Use This Calculator

Enter Property Area, Small Trees (canopy < 20 ft), and Medium Trees (canopy 20-40 ft).
Set Large Trees (canopy > 40 ft).
Review Canopy Coverage (%) and Annual Ecosystem Value ($).
Use Total Canopy Area (sq ft) and Target Coverage (%) to inform your decision.
Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.

How the result changes with Property Area

Property Area: Total property area in square feet (1 acre = 43,560 sq ft).
Small Trees (canopy < 20 ft): Trees with canopy diameter under 20 feet (ornamental, young trees).
Medium Trees (canopy 20-40 ft): Trees with canopy diameter 20-40 feet.
Large Trees (canopy > 40 ft): Trees with canopy diameter over 40 feet (mature oaks, elms, etc.).
