What is the Economic Value?

Economic Value Exploration
value = degree of benefit x public/personal costs
Total Value (2012, U.S.) – annual $1.8 to $5.9
billion

• shhh! still under peer review for publication
• life course focus
• subset of all metro nature findings
• the best current valuation prospects
• numbers rather small – why?
Caveats and Conditions

• little crossover of natural resources and public health methods
• spotty local health data sources
• equivalent geographic scale of datasets:
• < 1m for vegetation
• neighborhood or block for health
• precision of vegetation assessment . . . (may need more than canopy)

Summary
• urban forests/metro nature provide habitat for human health
• throughout human life course!
• evidence! Green Cities: Good Health
• vegetation assessment – more ecosystem structure
• economic implications – preliminary
