Hello Ed,
Thanks for the comments. The photo is me. I've been incredibly
busy
with a tree related illustration project as well as my day job
which
hasn't given me much time to think about posting reports to
ENTS. I
wanted to got to the ENTS meeting but had to work last weekend.
I ran
the climb in Rhode Island for Norman Bird Sanctuary in
Middletown
Rhode Island. It was in a remnant beech forest with trees in the
200-300 year old range. It's not far from a similar tract called
Oakdale Meadow (I think). Bob Leverett may know about Oakdale. I
didn't have time to do much measuring but it was a beautiful day
and
a lovely place to climb. I'm also in touch with several climbers
in
Rhode Island who've mentioned big trees they know about. There
are
supposed to be some very tall white pine (for RI) in Charleston,
Rhode Island, more investigation needed
I'd like to got to Cook Forest in the spring. I'll be climbing
through the winter and will post some reports. I have some more
tall
pines to visit and some big deciduous trees. I'll be back in
Rhode
Island Thanksgiving weekend and will visit the beeches and try
to
come up with something reportable.
