Tree Shade Advisor is a software tool to support prospective agroforesters to understand where and what to plant to achieve the desired shade coverage. Based on the research-focused Shade Motion tool, this user-friendly version allows users to design tree layouts, adjust spacing and orientation, simulate how shade changes across a site over time, and inspect the results in both 2D and 3D.
While Tree Shade Advisor has a limited free version, for commercial purposes there are paid plans. The Farm Woodland Forum does not endorse this tool and has no financial links to the tool.
