SHARING KNOWLEDGE: SDI STUDENT WORKERS PRESENT FOREST RESEARCH

On July 8 Ken LaTender and Brenda Miller (SDI summer student workers) attended an Intro to Sustainable Development class being taught by Chad Waukechon, to present an overview of a project they’ve been involved with this summer.

The presentation focused on their work related to the installation of a one hectare training plot on the East side of the CMN campus, and two-one hectare long-term research plots located in the Northern part of the Menominee forest. The first layer of data being gathered as a baseline on these plots is a tree census using an advanced inventory protocol developed by Dr. Richard Condit of the Smithsonian Institute.

SDI will be hosting a two-day workshop at the Menominee Resort Casino on Aug. 5/6. Ken and Brenda will be among a number of students, graduate students, and staff from CMN and SUNY ESF that will present information on a variety of forest ecology projects. We encourage anyone with an interest to attend.
