Abstract: Managing healthy forests within urban areas is an effort worth taking for the benefits it offers to the city dwellers. Degradation of urban forests can occur due to rapid urbanization, encroachment, depleting of natural areas, fragmentation and spread of invasive species. Decrease in tree cover due to infrastructure developmental projects is one of the major reasons for urban forest depletion. Decrease of urban tree cover due to infrastructure projects can affect terrestrial carbon sequestration potential of cities. The study was carried out at Estate (Thane) to estimate the carbon sequestration of tree species. Assessment of the carbon sequestration of urban forest was carried out through the biomass study with a quantification. It is found that total carbon sequestered by the total tree species (15, 317 count) is 10624.86 tones. The highest carbon sequestration was studied are multiple tree species and are significant components of Agro - forestry and urban plantation in the study region.
