growth over a period of time , say 10 years . This comparative study between years was not completed in the FY2021 study using iTree . It certainly could be considered as a future project .
It appears the carbon offsets from the carbon storage in the tree trunks to the leafy carbon sequestration of the canopies could offset the GHG emissions of heat for the buildings , all of the mobile fleet , and even the crematory . We do not know those answers yet . What we do know is that the annual ecosystem benefits total $ 720,100 . The total structural value for all of Mount Auburn ’ s trees is almost $ 15 million . Whatever unit of measurement we use – dollars or carbon offsets – Mount Auburn is a priceless jewel .
