environmental impact
Parks have been proven to positively impact the environment and reduce the cost of environmental impacts for communities related to storm water management, pollution mitigation, energy consumption, and other issues. The calculator strives to utilize currently published data to quantify the positive environmental impacts in terms of the appropriate unit measurement (I.e. Gallons of storm water mitigated) and the monetary value of these impacts. The two calculations consider the impacts in terms of number of trees as well as the number of acres of parkland.

Environmental Impact conservation has far-reaching economic and ecosystem impacts, affecting the quality of life and well-being of all living things. Conserving natural resources, protecting biodiversity, and reducing pollution are all essential for maintaining healthy communities. Green spaces, including forests, parks, and wetlands, play a significant role in mitigating environmental changes by acting as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. These spaces also reduce carbon emissions by providing natural areas for non-motorized recreation and by providing shade and cooling in urban areas. The economic impact of environmental conservation is vast, and investing in these practices benefits not only the natural world but also the economies of communities around the globe.
