Students from NYU went to Black Rock Forest to measure the trees using a Prism Method and a Circle Plot Method.
We worked in the Oak - Maple forest just above the reservoir.
The Prism method allows a quick estimate of the amount of forest cover per acre.
Line up the tree trunk with the image of the trunk. If they touch the tree is counted.
