Gary Beluzo- While I took your ribbing good-naturedly a couple of months ago, it was interesting to see that LIDAR was used successfully to identify tree heights...my proposal months ago to utilize LIDAR as a filter to reduce the number of trees to be measured, and as a means of studying crown height relationships would seem to merit more than a 'balloon man' graphic... When and if there is interest in use of LIDAR for Congaree crowns, I'd be happy to discuss grants that might support such a mission... -DonRB
