SUMMARY:Big tree measuring blitz

During this blitz\, you will work together to measure tree diameter\, height\, and crown spread. Through learning these skills\, you will be able to contribute to growing big tree registries locally in the Salish Sea and across the province while also becoming a champion of old-growth forest protection in your community. \n\n\n\nMeeting location: Magic Lake swimming hole parking lot (map). Please aim to arrive by approximately 9:45 AM so we can organize carpools to the nature reserve where measuring will take place. \n\n\n\nWhat to wear\n\n\n\nDress appropriately for the weather; warmer temperatures are expected\, so be prepared by wearing adequate sun protection and bringing water. As we will be in a forest\, long pants\, tall socks\, and closed-toed shoes are strongly recommended. \n\n\n\nWhat to bring\n\n\n\nAll supplies will be provided\, as well as snacks and drinks. \n\n\n\nPride\n\n\n\nOptional: As Pender Pride celebrations will be taking place over the weekend\, we would love to see folks dress up in their best nature-themed and colourful attire\, or anything pride-inspired! \n\n\n\nQuestions and more info\n\n\n\nQuestions?
