<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Timber value may be the most tangible calculation that could be made. But I think what it really comes down to, is what is the loss of this stand of trees worth to the town? It’s probably contributing a lot
of intangible benefits such as aesthetic beauty, wildlife habitat, air quality improvement, stormwater improvement, maybe informal recreation. Perhaps the best approach is to throw away any formulae and start a negotiation with the developer based on the
premise of what it might cost to replace that tree canopy elsewhere in the community. If you know the average cost to plant a large caliper tree in the community and then make some assumptions about how many trees you would need to plant (or would like to
plant), that could be a starting point for the negotiations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">The quick and dirty answer: an ‘ISA plant appraisal’ doesn’t really exist. The ISA PVAC (Plant Appraisal and Valuation Committee) was/is involved as one of the contributors to the CTLA guides (among
other groups such as ASCA), but there is not an ISA method per se. Anyone asking probably just doesn’t know that it should really be referred to as CTLA, and that’s what they’re really asking for.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">Now, what CTLA method they are after is another story. There are several appraisal methods outlined in the Guide, and it’s a matter of choosing the most reasonable method for the situation. It’s
true (IMO) that the Trunk Formula Method (which is what I believe you’re generally referring to) is not well-suited to many situations, so something like timber value may actually be a reasonable choice. Alternately, when we’ve appraised or reviewed appraisals
of plantations that for whatever reason must be done using the TFM, we would typically expect to use a fairly low (maybe 10-15%) location rating, thus accounting for the fact that it’s not an appraisal of an individual tree that might have a high contribution
to the site. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">Another method (which was recently brought to my attention, as I had overlooked it in the guide) is the Contributory Value – basically, how much does the plantation contribute in terms of value to
the property? It’s outlined on Pg. 100 if you have the 9<sup>th</sup> edition of the guide handy.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">Like others have said, cost of cure or replacement cost could also work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:#1F497D">I’m sure this muddies the waters a bit, but appraisal can be tricky. I think they key is to come up with something that seems reasonable and is defensible. I’m sure others on the list will also have
more to say on the matter. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
