Apologies for cross-postings... Forest Canopy Access Workshop This exciting two-part workshop, hosted by the International Canopy Network (ICAN), will present forest canopy research methodologies and canopy access, focusing on vertebrate, soil and epiphyte sampling, and hemispherical photography. Northwest forest canopy researchers will present their experiences conducting research in the forest canopy, addressing what has worked and what has not worked. A field based tree-climbing session will follow morning presentations. An experienced arborist will discuss climbing safety, showcase climbing gear, and demonstrate rope-based canopy access techniques. Participants will then have the opportunity to climb trees and access the forest canopy. Target participants include biologists, land managers, students, and community members who are interested in learning more about forest canopy research techniques, and applications to conservation and management.
