Re: Volunteers needed for big tree certification
I certainly would like to participate, but it is not feasible for me at the present time.

Ed,
I assumed you were on board and would participate when your situation permits. But thanks for confirming.

Bob- You know I'm in. I'll cover the Deep South and it would be a real pleasure to do so. Larry
Re: Volunteers needed for big tree certification
Bob,
I'll be happy participate as I'm able in upstate NY and the surrounding area. I'm fairly confident in my ability in identifying and measuring northeastern trees, and have the basic tools, as John mentioned earlier. However, I've not attended any NTS events or workshops, and would need to do so before doing any work representing the organization and/or AF. I've wanted to meet up with other ents for a couple years now, but, for the most part, my job hasn't allowed me to do so. Also, I can't speak for Tom Howard, but I think we'd make a great team for our neck of the woods.
However these AF meetings work out, you're doing a yeoman's work, Bob. Thank you for your efforts.

Great! We'll count you in. BTW, I'm at Point Au Rouch, NY right now. I'm going to be measuring big cottonwoods today. This region is loaded with great cottonwoods, but not many people like the species. I love 'um. Pictures and numbers later.

Re: Volunteers needed for big tree certification
Bob, NTS,
I'd like to get involved as well. Elijah and I make a good team here in central NY. I'd like to pitch in whenever I can.
My brother and I also love Cottonwoods. There are awesome Cottonwoods just north of you in Quebec.

I'd like to be confirmed as well but my time is severely limited and will be for at least the next year or so. If only we had other competent measurers in Western North Carolina! :)

I'd be willing to help...My first task, though, will be looking for a new national champion shortleaf pine!!

Folks,
Thanks for the responses and support. We're really moving into high gear. I think AF is going to be both pleased and relieved.
