Discover the benefits of your tree with the Ontario Residential Tree Benefits Estimator!
Developed by LEAF (Local Enhancement & Appreciation of Forests) and Dr. Andrew Millward (Ryerson University), this free tool helps estimate energy savings and other environmental benefits provided by your tree.
Research has shown that strategically placed trees provide shade and windbreak that can significantly reduce demand for air conditioning in summer and heating in winter. By preserving existing trees and planting new trees in the right locations, you can reduce your electricity bills, beautify your property and help the environment all at the same time. http://www.yourleaf.org/estimator
