Proposed Rec/work climb

That looks like a fun climb! just walk up one of those limbs growing into the ground and your already in the canopy! I do think they should invest in some new signs though, with more up to date information. That bit about roots being a mirror image of the tree, come on.

I'll be there for photos! Where is it? What town and park?

[/ QUOTE ]tomoka state park north of ormond beach. if you want to take part in clearing a path behind it and doing root invigoration while on the ground the tree would love you all the more for that.

i will post the volunteer waiver form when i get it. not sure about the maximum that can go up in there. it is so massive and they are happy to have the help they should be cool with whoever comes.

Climbers will be asked to make ZERO IMPACT and to take pics and collect epiphytes etc per directions of university folks. and a few dead limbs will need roping down...also i would love to see a lightning system installed (central fla being lightning capital of the continent), but i anticipate the state may not find budget room for the materials.

How to pass the hat? I'm guessing mtls will be about 8 bills.
 
Looks fun. I can't be there.

/yes; this is what i sent to the university folks

On March 21, I and other arborists hope to climb the Fairchild Oak in Tomoka State Park. Along with removing dead branches and other risk management and health care work (following the attached systems), we are interested in doing an inventory of plant and animal associates growing in and on the tree. We would be able to record images and collect some samples for identification and analysis. I seek your help and guidance in this work--what to look for that may be significant, how to collect samples, where to send them, etc.

>We also hope to thin out the understory, to lessen competition for the oak. If you know of anyone who may be interested in any aspect of this effort, or even participating on March 21, we would love to hear from them.
