Last Thursday, August 15, I had the opportunity to do a forest transect in Pack Forest. This is a continuous, yearly project to monitor the different groups of plots in Pack Forest. Each plot is checked once every five years. Forestry students check the diameter, height, crown, and health of trees in a plot. They also check on logs and snags. This project is creating a wealth of data. Can you guess why the plots are checked once every five years and not yearly? Check out pictures in the gallery.
