Timber Cruise Workshops

Having an idea of the volume and value of your timber is useful, and sometimes essential, for various management decisions such as: selling timber, enrolling in carbon markets, valuing an estate, and establishing a tax basis.

This hands-on class will uncover the mystery behind timber cruising and give you an appreciation for how a professional forester uses this information to guide decision making.

Topics Covered May Include

• Why do we measure the forest?
• How do we use simple tools to collect useful data?

• All participants will get hands-on experience measuring trees.
• All participants will take home a Biltmore stick and an angle gauge.
