Hi ,
Can someone advise me on what value to input for 'Years of the Project' within the i-Tree Planting tool. Should I use 60 years based on the LCA credit for LEED v4 or can I base this on each project individually (or OPR). I notice the ability to sequester carbon for trees increases with an increase in lifetime of the project.
Thanks!

Nicolette, have you found an answer for this?

It would be helpful to have a reference or cheat sheet to guide the selection of species and locations to get the best value for plantings using the i-tool - has anybody found that?

My team just received a comment back that the service life has to be at least 50 years for both the baseline and proposed sites.
