The total points for this CDE will be 600 points. The CDE will be divided into five sections with the scoring as follows: Section 1. Identification of Wood and Tree Samples: (200 points) A. Identify 10 wood samples at five points each. B. Identify 25 tree and shrub samples at six points each. Section 2. Forestry Tools and Equipment: (50 points) A. Identify 10 tools at five points each. Section 3. Written Exam: (150 points) A. 50 questions at three points each. Section 4. Timber Cruising (50 points) A. Estimate DBH, merchantable height, and volume in 10 trees at five points each. Section 5. Even- and Odd-Year Practicums: (150 points) A. Even-year practicums 1. Compass/GPS course (10 marked points/questions at five points each) 2. Forest business management (10 questions at five points each) 3. Map interpretation (10 questions at five points each) B. Odd-year practicums 1. Chainsaw (10 questions at five points each) 2. Product scaling (10 questions at five points each) 3. Tree/forest disorders (10 questions at five points each) 2. A combination of tally sheets and computer scan sheets will be used to record contestant responses for this CDE. Tally sheets, included as a part of this packet, will be used for the Compass/GPS course practicum, and for the Product Scaling practicum. All other events will use a provided Scantron bubble sheet that can be downloaded from http://cde.ffa.umn.edu/Web/CDEbooklet.htm. 3. Contestants should come prepared to work out-of-doors for part of the CDE and provide their own tape measures, tree sticks, compasses, calculators, hand lens, pencils and erasers. The compass used in the CDE will have 360 azimuth graduations (0 to 360 degrees). Non- electric compasses (such as those made by Silva, Sunto, and Brunton) may be used for the CDE. The Silva Ranger is an acceptable compass, but there are many others that will work just as well. A limited supply of tree sticks will be available. The GPS used in the CDE will be a Garmin GPSmap 76. A supply of GPS receivers will be available. 4. Official dress or appropriate FFA attire is required. Refer to Rule 1-A-5 on page 1.1. 5. Four members will constitute a team. 2014forestryCDE-v1.2.docx Page 16-2 CDE Material and Subject Matter: Section 1: Identification of Wood and Tree Samples A.

    Measuring Tree Diameter by Billy Thomas Determining the size of your trees is not difficult, and it is Tree Scale Stick important information to know. A key part of determining One of the most commonly tree size is knowing the tree’s diameter. Recall that diam- used forestry tools is the tree eter is the length of a straight line that passes through the scale stick. These sticks are center of a circle. The tree diameter measurement allows relatively inexpensive and you to quantify the size of trees, monitor tree growth (by can be ordered from forestry re-measuring the same trees over time), and make informed supplier companies.

  • On-The-Fly Tree Caliper Measurement
    An ASABE Meeting Presentation Paper Number: 1009441 On-the-Fly Tree Caliper Measurement Wenfan Shi, Sanjiv Singh, Marcel Bergerman Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 James Owen Oregon State University, Aurora, OR 97002 Written for presentation at the 2010 ASABE Annual International Meeting Sponsored by ASABE David L. Lawrence Convention Center Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania June 20 – June 23, 2010 Abstract. In fruit and shade tree nurseries, there is a need to count and measure caliper for trees frequently so as to have an accurate inventory sufficiently before harvest since disease, pests and climate can change the yield from year to year. In some tree nurseries it is common practice to count the entire stock three times a year and to caliper them once a year. Both tasks are very labor intensive, involving crews of workers counting trees by hand over several weeks. Experience indicates that calipering and counting millions of trees manually can be error prone. There is a strong need to automate these tasks in the tree nursery industry to decrease labor cost and to improve inventory management. We have developed a device to count trees and to measure caliper while the trees are in the field. The device is designed to be mounted on a carrier passing through rows of trees in a nursery. Tedious tasks are reduced to a simple drive through that could be done simultaneously with tasks such as spraying or mowing. Here we describe the device and results from tests conducted in nurseries in Pennsylvania in 2010. Our experiments show that it is reasonable to expect an accuracy of approximately ±1 mm indoors and ±2.5 mm outdoors.
