How Much Is a Tree Worth? It is easy to measure the value of most things that people own. If you want to sell your house or car, for example, an expert will be able to tell you how much money it is worth. However, it's much harder to decide how much things in nature are worth. What is the value, for example, of a tree? One way to measure the value of a tree could simply be in terms of how much money could be made from cutting it down and selling the wood. A tree might be worth more, however, if it isn't cut down. In the case of a fruit tree, for example, we would have to ask how much money could be made by selling the fruit that the tree produces over its lifetime. Furthermore, what about the seeds that tree produces that can grow into new trees that will produce their own fruit? Do these elements add to the value of the original tree? In assessing its value, we might also look beyond the tree itself to the other creatures that live in it. For example, insects, birds, and other animals could not survive without the tree. These creatures use the tree for both food and shelter. Does the fact that the tree supports all these other lives add to the value of the tree itself? Trees also offer non-monetary benefits to people. For example, a tree gives us shelter on a sunny day or provides refuge from heavy rain. How much are these things worth? And what about the beauty of trees that can calm us when we are feeling stressed and that even inspires poetry. How do these kinds of benefits add to the value of the tree? If placing a value on a tree is such a difficult task, placing a value on nature itself is likely impossible. The natural world is an irreplaceable wonder that not only provides humans with many of our basic needs but also inspires us. How do we place value on such a resource?
