I had a request to process LIDAR returns for Brandy Wind Creek State Park. I get a number of trees over 160 feet, with the tallest emergent top being 168 feet. The attached height banding is green 20m, yellow 30m, red 40m and white is 50 meters. This is a tall forest with a nicely uniform canopy. M...

Hello Pat, I have covered most of the public land in your aboved mentioned areas. I have some superlative sites/trees that could use some updates/remeasurements. You may know of a few sites I'm unaware of. I'd like to remeasure the likely national height record dawn redwood at the gates of Mount Cub...

Darian, I am looking/waiting anxiously for your reports. The mapping u have shared is the kind of data we as NTSers value. I have documented several of the sites I've seen on the map and would have to say it underscored some sites but also warrants further investigation for others. County's I've doc...

Turner, Druid Hill Park, which is part of the Baltimore Zoo, is definitely worth investigating. In my case it's worth a sleepover. It's been on my hit list for years. I believe there is a connector trail from the zoo to the arboretum. I believe the park is second to the Philadelphia Zoo as far as ag...

I made a slight error in the tulips height, it's 170.4'.The mind see's what it wants to see, but I just checked my data and it was recorded at 170.4' on 11/27/2015.

Congrats to all involved in the discovery of this fine beast of a tree. It's a beauty!!! I've yet to find a mature specimen of Betula alleghaniensis here in southeastern Pa., although i have only seen them on two different sites. Max height in the 60's. Always in the bottoms of spring fed streams. I...

NTS,

This tulip is not in the FHNRMA. I'll make a field trip report on this tree at a later date.
