We came back from lunch and got in groups of 4 people. We got meter sticks and 100 ft. tapes. We then left school and headed to Laurelhurst. When we got there we plotted out one acre plots and we each stood on one corner. An acre is actually rather small. Then we headed to a little alcove under a tree to hide from the rain. We then did all the math stuff for the replanting and thinning. After it stopped raining we headed out to try and find the height of trees.
People told us that it was easiest to do it this way: Make an estimate of how tall the tree is. Then walk about that far away, bend over and try and find a spot were the tip of the tree is just barely visible between your legs. Then measure the distance from you and the tree trunk. That is about the height of the tree.
