New Laser scanning technology can help 'weigh' trees

( Seven miles ? It could be true ! )

We had the team from University College London in at work today scanning some of our oak woodland as part of this ongoing project investigating the potential for street trees and urban woodland to sequester carbon.

 

 

 

 

 

We should get the data back in a few weeks when they're back from Borneo, so will post it up.

 

It will look similar to the work that was undertaken on the oak below that was subject of the BBC film 'a year in the life of an oak tree'

Am I being incredibly stupid in wondering why it matters how much a tree weighs? (Unless you are chopping it down for the wood which is guessing this isn’t meant for!)
