Procedure- Kayla P, Hannah K, Tanner R


1.      The class went into the woods

2.      Measured a 100 square meter transect

3.      Numbered trees of timber size in transect

4.      Measured number of steps they took to equal 66 ft.

5.      Broke up into groups of 3

6.      Identified tree types

7.      Went 66 ft. away from tree they were are going to measure*

8.      Used a clinometer to find the top and bottom slopes of the trees

9.      Because standing when measures taken, subtracted bottom slop from 90

10.  Found the difference of the slopes and height of the tree

11. Sharpe measured circumference, which was used to find board feet and tree value
 

*Counted the number of steps from tree to match the number of steps they took in step four because it was not possible to measure in the woods
