Sam,
Sure, that would be great. I'll give you a jingle when Bart and I are ready to take another crack at Forest Park.

Forest Park is Springfield's forested park. It cover 735 acres and has some ravines that harbor mature oaks (white, red, black), white pines, and eastern hemlocks. After looking at the trees in about half of the high growth areas, I think the RI will eventually reach between 104 and 108 for Forest Park. We measured 3 trees that were especially significant. They follow. Species Height-ft Girth-ft N. red oak 105.0 12.2 (12 x 100 club) Hemlock 125.4 approx 7 ft W. pine 131.5 approx 8.5 ft The most significant tree we measured is a large northern red oak. Its dimensions are CBH=12.2 feet and height = 105.0 feet. It joins the 12 x 100 club. The attached image is of Bart next to a white oak measuring 10.4 feet around. Our time proved limited. This is only the first excursion.
