| 1. Three of the above pines have been climbed. Climbers are Will Blozan and assistant, Michael Davie, Dr. Robert Van Pelt | ||||
| Jake Swamp (2 climbs, 1st climb Nov 1998, Will Blozan and partner, 2nd climb, Michael Davie Oct 2001) | ||||
| Hgt of Jake Swamp on 1st climb, 158.6 ft, 2nd climb, 160.9 ft | ||||
| Joe Norton ( 1 climb, Bob Van Pelt and Will Blozan, Oct 2001) | ||||
| Hgt of Joe Norton on climb, 159.6 ft | ||||
| Saheda (1 climb, Nov 1998, Will Blozan and partner) | ||||
| Hgt of Saheda on climb, 158.3 ft, later adjusted to 158.5 to conform to center contour | ||||
| 2. On Oct 24th a climb is scheduled for either the Tecumseh or Thoreau Pine by Will Blozan | ||||
| 3. So far as we know, the Massachusetts white pines have been the most exhaustively measured and monitored of any tall | ||||
| trees in the eastern United States, courtesy of ENTS and FMTSF | ||||
| 4. The dominance in New England of MTSF in the 150 foot and over class of pines is a subject of scientific interest | ||||
| that involves the Center For Hardwood Ecology, University of Minnesota, Director, Dr. Lee Frelich | ||||
| 5. Naming conventions are courtesy of FMTSF and ENTS. | ||||
| 6. Methods of measuring the heights of the pines include climbing on occasion and | ||||
| use of lasers, clinometers, poles, trigonometry, and statistics. | ||||
| Measurement accuracy of frequently measured trees is +/- 1.0 feet of target being measured. | ||||
