“Measuring what’s in a forest can lead to a deeper appreciation”.

Understanding the diversity of tree species and their sizes can give insight into what kind of wildlife may be present, can inform forest stewardship planning, and leads to a deeper appreciation of forests.

Participants will learn how to set up and carry out a typical woodland inventory for a Minnesota forest. You will learn about the important things to look for and measure in a forest, be introduced to basic forest inventory equipment, and learn about the importance of woodland inventories.
