[CANUFNET] Eco-benefit Calculations

[Ian Hanou via CANUFNET]

This is probably your best bet Darren:  http://treebenefits.com/calculator/

The only other thing I can think of is to use our Tree Plotter demo app (
https://pg-cloud.com/tpDemo/), login with "demo" and "demo" (lower case),
move the map to your location, then inventory (map) new trees in the area.
Eco benefits based on i-Tree are calculated per tree and summarized in a
dashboard set of charts / reports. You can export a copy of your data only.
If you go that route, just call me and I'll walk you through it in 10
minutes.

Cheers,
Ian
