[CANUFNET] Value of trees

[Listar, Ivan]

London conducted a UFORE analysis in 2008/09.  Our report will be
available this fall and we will post it on our website (www.london.ca )
at that time.  We do not have a program like STRATUM.  

We do have a proprietary inventory program that can produce reports by
species, diameter and tree condition.  It is GIS based so we can also
report and map any of the above (and other) parameters and layers in the
corporate database.  For example, we can use it to map all our white oak
trees with good condition > 100 cm dbh on boulevards within designated
heritage areas.

Subject: [CANUFNET] Value of trees

I am updating some work for the Ontario Heritage Tree Alliance on the
"value" of trees. While the outline I am providing is conceptual to
assist lay-advocates in making a case for tree preservation, I would
like to include a few lines on such benefit cost analysis models as
UFORE and STRATUM. Does anyone have some examples of where STRATUM has
been used in the Canadian context? Any comments on its application
(recognizing that it is a street tree management tool)?
Thanks!
