THE VALUE OF OUR TREES
FOOTSCRAY PRIMARY SCHOOL
In 2013, our School was home to 102 trees.
We have 20 species of trees. 30% of our trees are eucalypts
Nearly 80% of our trees are medium in size (5-10m tall)
A tree’s canopy cover helps with shade for students, habitat for
fauna, removing carbon and pollutants from the air, and slowing
down heavy stormflows that can damage waterways.
90% of our trees are in good canopy health.
Our poplars, pines and gums provide the greatest amount of canopy
cover. These are generally our oldest and largest trees.
20% of our trees have an amenity value of over $5000 each. This
value will grow if the tree itself has more chance to grow.
The large Canadian Poplar on Geelong Rd is worth $28,000. With the
EcoMasterplan, we will greatly enhance more trees.

THE VALUE OF ALL OUR TREES
FOOTSCRAY PRIMARY SCHOOL
Footscray Primary School’s 102 trees were achieving in 2013
- 20 tonnes of carbon storage (mostly in trunk) $487
- 1.6 tonnes of carbon sequestered (mostly by leaves) $39
- 15 kg of pollution removal (air pollutant land on leaves instead of
potentially going into lungs) $7.35
- 22 m3 of rainfall interception (slowing down big rain events that
can erode waterways if they are gushing too fast) $52
- 430Kwh annual heating benefits (saving on the need for indoor
heating by buffering cold breezes) $150
- 833 Kwh annual cooling benefits (saving on the need for indoor
cooling by shading buildings) $290
- Amenity value of the tree
(its beauty and contribution to the community) $252, 755
THE VALUE OF AN AVERAGE TREE
FOOTSCRAY PRIMARY SCHOOL
An average tree at Footscray Primary School is:
- Storing 197kg of carbon mostly in its trunk
- Removing another 15kg of carbon out of the atmosphere each
year during photosynthesis where leaves convert sunlight to
energy
- Removing 154 grams of air pollution by capturing pollutants (that
mostly come from cars) on its leaves
- Intercepting 0.22m3 of rainfall helping to prevent flooding, and
prevent erosion of our Maribyrnong River
- Saving 4.2Kwh of energy for indoor heating by sheltering from
breezes, and 8.1Kwh of energy for indoor cooling by shading
buildings on hot days
- Providing $2478 of amenity value to the school for its beauty
