Measuring Timber Stands

This event is no longer on sale.

Monday December 12

10:00 AM  –  11:30 AM

Forest mensuration is the science of measuring timber stands to estimate growth and yields.

As a follow-up to the winter tree identification workshop in November, DCNR Forester, Michael Doucette, will lead a forest mensuration class at Penguin Court in Laughlintown on Monday, December 12, 2023 from 10 - 11:30 a.m.

During this hands-on workshop, participants will learn to use a prism, biltmore stick, and d-tape to calculate the board foot volume and economic value of a tree, which is important especially for woodlot and forest landowners. 

This workshop will be held outdoors, so please dress for the weather.

Also, this is a "Pay What You Wish" program with proceeds benefiting Penguin Court.  Thank you for considering a donation!
