Can a phone replace my mensuration kit? Look forward to finding out over next few weeks :)

First outing with #arborealforest and #forestscanner, lidar based dbh measurements on phone! Both seem to be working well on a rainy Argyll day, much quicker than tapes, calipers. Thanks @ShinichiTatsumi

Fantastic 1st rotation stand of Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, Norway spruce and European larch by Loch Awe. Hard to get line of sight for laser measurement but one tree around 62m, must be tallest spruce on FLS estate?

Despite being partially clearfelled, this thinned stand of Douglas fir/Sitka spruce/Scots pine planted 1945 at Strathyre is still a nice place to visit. Lots of regeneration (Sitka, beech, birch, rowan) in its infancy...main canopy trees > 40m

Rainy day at Inverawe among thinned Sitka spruce and Japanese larch, one Sitka around 41m in 50 years, no need to avoid arrows today.

Interesting find in 2nd hand bookshop, "The Forester" from the late 19th century. GB centric text with some guidance still relevant today on hylobius and species selection. No mention of Sitka spruce.

Highlights of a day at @forestryls #fearnoch forest near #oban. Lots of ants foraging on a fragment of first rotation spruce that has been spared clearfelling, birch regeneration and an artistic rootplate of a windblown tree.

Last day of the forestry commission, could not think of a better way to mark the occasion than visiting Dalavich Oakwood and MacKenzie's grove at Inverliever forest.
