About This Textbook
This is a Forest Measurements textbook written for field technicians. Silvicultural applications and illustrations are provided to demonstrate the relevance of the measurements. Special “technique tips” for each skill are intended to help increase data collection accuracy and confidence. These include how to avoid common pitfalls, effective short cuts, and essentials for recording field data correctly.
The emphasis is on elementary skills; it is not intended to be a timber cruising guide.

Yes it is a useful text and I think very beneficial to have a more modern Forest Measurements text available for free online to students. We currently don’t have a textbook for our Measurements course and I think this could be a good reference for students, „
