Procedure for determining forest worth,


  • In order to collect data for this project, we first sectioned off a section of forest 100 squared meters.
  • We then labeled 
  • and determined species (using the Autobon Field Guide to Trees) 
  • and circumference of trees (in inches) within the selected area. 
  • We distanced ourselves 66 feet from each of three trees and used a clinometer to determine the height of each tree in feet. 
  • We then used these calculations to finish the form shown on the next page.
