ENTS
Last night I attended a Mount Tom Advisory Board Meeting that included the
Park Supervisor, Robert Carr. Carr and the Board had invited me to attend to
give them a status report on the trees of Mount Tom. Well, to make a long story
sort, I talked them into doing a fairly extensive documentation of the trees
and forests of Mount Tom, to include:
1. Species distribution maps
2. Stand and tree age profiles,
3. Area of special aesthetic interest,
4. State champion trees,
5. Historic/witness trees,
6. Trees meeting various dimension thresholds.
a. height
b. circumference
c ENTS points
They all very enthusiastically embraced the proposed project, so it looks
like I've gone and stuck my foot in it. I made the pitch to them under the
auspices of ENTS. Fortunately, Mt Tom has great trees, so the project will
hopefully become a real labor of love. At present Mt Tom's Rucker Index stands
at 117.0. I think we can nurse it up to beween 118.0 and 118.5
