How to Plan Reforestation
Reforestation restores forest cover to sequester carbon and rebuild ecosystems.
Formula
Trees Needed = Area * Planting Density
Cost = Trees * Cost per Tree
Planting Density
A new forest can sequester 5-10 metric tons CO2/ha/year once established.
Example Calculation
Reforest 50 hectares at 1,100 trees/ha, $2.50/tree, over 20 years.
- 01Total trees: 50 * 1,100 = 55,000 trees
- 02Cost: 55,000 * $2.50 = $137,500
- 03Annual sequestration: 50 * 5 = 250 metric tons CO2/year
- 04Total carbon: 250 * 20 = 5,000 metric tons CO2
- 05Cost per ton: $137,500 / 5,000 = $27.50/ton
