From Aaron Shiels:
Canopy Trimming Experiment
The treatments for the Canopy Trimming Experiment (CTE) began October 26, 2004
(yes, really). After over a year delay we have permits and arborists. This is
great news!! Although we are not certain how long the treatment application will
take, we expect to be treating the plots through early December 2004. It would
be nice if those involved in the CTE would send helpers to assist with the treatment
application in order to ensure an efficient timeline of completion. We expect
long days of moving detritus and will surely need help.
Please let me know if you, or someone you know, can help at El Verde (Email:
shiels@sunites.upr.clu.edu).
Attached are two pictures: one of the arborist team (Econetsa), and one of
our shelter to work from in the forest and keep equipment out of direct weather:
