A University of Idaho Extension program titled Measuring Your Trees is designed to give forest owners a basic understanding of forest measurements. It will help forest owners collect some of their own data and strengthen their interactions with professional foresters and technicians regarding data collection on their forest.

The morning will be spent indoors, focusing on principles guiding measurement of trees and forests. The afternoon will be spent outdoors, measuring a variety of forest characteristics using clinometers, diameter tapes, angle gauges, and other forest measurement tools.

Measuring Your Trees is an Idaho Forest Stewardship program, co-sponsored by University of Idaho Extension, the Idaho Department of Lands, and many other agencies and organizations.
