If you are interested in forest health, tree identification and citizen science, this might be an opportunity for you!
Forest Health Monitoring seeks to hit the ground running with this long-term ecological monitoring project this summer at Grills Preserve. We will establish a network of 10-meter radius circular plots, within which we will record observations such a tree species, diameter-at-breast height, mortality, canopy cover and more. To learn more about our methods, check out the Wildlands and Woodlands Stewardship Science page.
While some experience in tree identification would be nice, it is far from a requirement — eager and passionate volunteers are what we are looking for!
At the open house, you will hear from the WLT team leading this project about the motivations and methods as well as get the opportunity to ask and questions and mingle with other like-minded folks.
