How Much Is That Tree Worth?

Are you tree challenged and have no idea what kind of tree is planted in front of your house? Have you ever wondered what environmental impact that one tree has?

Thanks to Casey Trees, you can check out their DC Tree Map and precisely locate a tree and discover all sorts of tree porn information such as its species, size and condition, calculations of the amount and value of air pollutants the tree removes, and its value to a tree appraiser.
