30th Annual Meeting Attendees to Take Home a Piece of Forestry History
Most people are familiar with the Biltmore Estate, but few can identify a "Biltmore stick." At first glance it looks like a yardstick, but further scrutiny shows that it is clearly more than that. In fact, with a bit of practice, this tool can be used to provide a reliable estimate of tree height and diameter, which can then be used to determine tree value. Check out this article and watch a video on how to use a Biltmore stick.
