Woodland Stewards Webinar Series - Income Opportunities from Non timber Forest Products
มุมมอง 2724 ปีที่แล้ว
While selling timber from your woodlands may be a great revenue source, it is not the only option for income. There are a range of possibilities to generate income from your woodlands that depend on your location, forest type and more, that are compatible with timber management too. For some areas, pine straw can be a revenue source while other woodlands may be ‘farmed’ for medicinal plants and...

Why ie ( toe-pa-grafit ) I know what topography is.
always measure on the uphill side.
I was a cruiser a long time. Production Cruiser.. 30 years. Using a clino or relaskop. I just used the percent side. let's say doing total height, minus stump. I would measure out a horizontal distance. Where I could see the top. Any distance. let's say it was 95 up, 5 down. I was 87 feet away from the tree, horizontally. 95 up, 5 down. 100 x .87. The tree is 87 feet tall. Using a lazer made it a lot easier.
Wait wdym, 95up, 5 down and then 100 x 0.87? Where do the .87 come from isn't there something missing in the calculation?
When I was a cruiser. I did have flagging tied to the extractor. I would just toss a stabbing toss, the extractor, into the ground.
Cut a stick the same length of your fist to your eye. Hold the end of the stick in your fist, with the stick in the vertical position above your hand, Make the stick as plumb as possible. Site down the top of the stick with your eye, move until the sight line is hitting the top of the tree. Lay the stick at your feet, take fairly large steps from there to the base of the tree, each step is about a yard. The distance you stepped off is the height of the tree.
.................. Nice start. Please demonstrate BOTH 25 and 50 Base Ages .............. and explain why the two exist, and when they are employed. Thanks
Does anyone know why a forestry/ag guy would come specifically to my neighbor's house and look around and then come on my property and aim a little handheld device that looks like a video game controller at my tree? As he was aiming it at the tree, he was pressing buttons. Any idea? Btw, he may have done that to my neighbor's trees as well, but they're in his yard, so I couldn't see any of that.
Hi Lucy, The device he was using may have been a laser measuring tool that would record the data to the unit. To measure one would have to stand back from the tree to be able to take the measurements.
@@forestrywebinars Thanks, but I really want to know *why* he would be doing this. Also, I looked up "laser measuring tool used by foresters," but the devices that came up look nothing like what he was holding. It looked like a controller, and he did not look through it at all. He just held it and pushed buttons while aiming it at the tree. I'm just concerned why he was on my property. He parked afterwards as if writing a report.
@@LucyLaurent12 Probably to know the height? I mean its pretty important to know if you're working in ecology/forestry and need to document existing trees ...
why does nobody use trigonometry?
It's really helpful much thanks
Great Video, have a silviculture test tomorrow and was unconfident with this. Thank you and God bless!!!
we use the Norwegian beak gauge for that
Aren't you ignoring temperate tree growth, early wood and late wood, in causally saying "these rings all represent one year"? Surely it's different seasonal patterns, variations in annual climate, drought etc... you've made quite a sweeping statement with very little evidence or awareness of the big picture there.
Why 66 feet away from tree??
That’s one pace
@@Fishofftheperc30 you have a 66 foot pace??? That makes no sense. Is there something about 66 feet that corresponds with the height computation?
@@tzavitz my mistake I meant to say chain
@@tzavitz 66ft = 1 chain. A chain is a common unit of measurement used in forestry and surveying. When foresters are doing inventory plots they'll space them by chains and measure the chains by pacing. So all foresters know how many paces they take to walk 66ft. I do about 12.5 paces per chain so if I'm using a clinometer I'll simply take 12.5 paces in a straight line and then measure.
66ft is one chain, a way to measure distance
Your comment that the tree grew more in its younger years because of clear cutting and less competition is wrong, obsolete thinking, and hurtful both to the forest and the timber industry.
Why do you think it grew more when it was young then?
@@mimimarriott1379 Natural phenomena are rarely if ever due to a single "cause." Several factors are involved. "Competition" effects, if any, tend to be gradual over time; weather patterns and soil/geological conditions tend to frustrate real science, while know-it-alls tend to be more sure of themselves. Hubrisitis?
Thank you professor!
so helpful, thank you!
Interesting because that's basically how I see normally because of diplopia....
In college we did timber cruising. We covered plot and point cruising. Fun stuff.
Very helpful
Thank you!
Good
Thank you sir Very easy explain now please made vedio on yield table , stump analysis, sample plot
i had to watch this for a grade and write facts about it.
I want one now.
Thank you for helping us in telling
Thank you for this video this helped very much when working on a school assignment
I love your videos. I have watched almost every single one. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
Thanks.
Thanks for posting. So, based on your height, if you are on level ground you would always have a negative second number. Yours was zero due to the slope. Cool.
That is correct. The reading at stump height would always be a negative number if your line of sight is higher than the stump.
Looks simple to use and interesting but how is the leveling of this device accounted for before taking readings?
Through sighting the top of the tree and the base of the tree at a set distance from the tree one is measuring the elevation angles and with the use of trigonometry a height is determined. Much of the math is taken out of the height determination based on the way the instrument is designed and used. If you have a clinometer such as the one in the video you will see that the inner part of the clinometer is a wheel that freely moves as you tilt the clinometer up and down when sighting. If you hold the clinometer level it will have a reading of 0. When you sight upward it is measuring the elevation angle from level to the top of the tree. When you sight to the base of the tree, if you are higher than the base it measures the angle of elevation from level downward to the base. Based on these elevation angles and the set distance you are from the base of the tree, you are able to determine the height of the tree. I hope this helps.
Would like to see the Biltmore stick you made in forestry school years ago. Still have mine. Is it still required that forestry students craft their own as part of a class project?
NC State forestry students I believe still make their own.
super good explanation how to use the forestry tape .
Glad it was helpful!

Nice video, thank you! Been asked to measure a series of walnut trees down here in Texas and needed a re-fresher!
thank you I need to your program regularly
Thank you for this explanation. When I took silviculture up here, the instructor referred to the prism as a 2 MBAF prism.
Your welcome
That’s a beautiful stand of timber. Can tell it’s been burned
Thanks for this clear guide to forest tools, good refreshers for my forest measurements classes.
Your welcome
Im a student in forestry. these video are very helpful for me. thank you !
Do you have good notes of forest mensturation?
Thank you Professor!
I am interested in site index. This is a great video. I will wait for more.
Nevada Land Health Assessment AIM crew checking in. This video saved our butt when our manual only had a quip on how to take tree heights with a clinometer!
I'm studying forestry and these videos are very helpful. Great work!
Great video! Very informative! Keep up the great work :)
Super simple, thank you. Would there be a chance to upload a video for getting LCR (live crown ratio) using the clinometer?
Hi Brent. Thanks for viewing the video and the suggestion for another video. At this time we do not have that video planned, but will consider it as we add future videos.
