D35a. How many <br />people will benefit <br />from your project in <br />one year? (This is <br />the same number <br />from row 8 in the <br />D16 table above) <br />1350 <br />D35b. Please <br />describe how you <br />arrived at this <br />number. (200 word <br />limit) <br />W e estimate approximately 1,350 unique individuals will benefit from this <br />project in the first year, based on participation in tree planting, seedling <br />distribution, and educational workshops, adjusted to avoid double-counting. <br />Tree Planting (100 trees): <br />Each tree is planted at a residential or community site. Using the U.S. <br />Census Bureau’s average household size of 2.42, this reaches about 242 <br />people directly. Including immediate neighbors who benefit from shade, <br />cooling, and flood mitigation increases this to ~500 people. <br />Seedling Distribution (1,000 seedlings): <br />Assuming 2 seedlings per household, 500 households × 2.42 people per <br />household = 1,210 people. <br />W orkshops & Community Events (2 total): <br />W e expect about 20 participants per event, for a total of 40 attendees. <br />Some overlap with other groups is expected, so we conservatively count <br />~25 unique additional individuals. <br />After applying a 20% overlap reduction across all groups, we arrive at <br />~1,350 unique beneficiaries in year one. This includes direct participants - <br />those receiving trees, seedlings, or training - and indirect beneficiaries, <br />such as neighbors sharing environmental benefits. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: CB1A7685-96B7-4FBD-80E0-8CF756D5E579
