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 Bob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org You are subscribed to the Google Groups "ENTSTrees" group.
