Steps to Measuring Trees

Today we went into the field to measure trees. Posts marked the different plots. In each plot we had to identify each tree, measure it at BHD, and mark if it was leaning or straight. We had a piece of PVC pipe marked with blue tape at the BHD. After we measured the tree we tagged it with a metal tag that had a number on it. If the tree was small, we had to attach the tag with wire.
