Three Sites have been studied to date:
1. The area near Arthur's Pond up to the summit of Black Rock was surveyed and a method for sharing data using models for the trees is being developed.
2. The Hemlock area near the Science Center headquarters was surveyed using a transect method. An interactive site allows one to estimate the number of trees in the Hemlock area.
3. The Oak/Maple forest above the Upper Reservoir was surveyed using the Prism method and the Circle Plot method.
