Tree Measurement Sheet

Forestry

This object consists of two thick square pads of paper, connected with a brass fastener in the top left hand corner. Each one is entitled “Faculty of Forestry – University of Toronto: Tree Measurement Sheet”. Below this, it contains spaces to enter information about a single tree during a measurement task, such as the species and the name of the person making the record. The largest portion of the sheet is taken up with a chart which provides spaces for recording data about the size and age of various parts of the tree, such as its stump, and tip.

The first page of both pads has been completed in pencil.
