Tree Tips is NNRG's video series on forest stewardship tactics, tools, and techniques.
In this Tree Tips video, NNRG Director of Forestry Kirk Hanson demonstrates how to set up a simple forest inventory plot and collect basic stand data. This data can then be entered into NNRG's Woody Biomass Calculator to develop an estimate of the volume of timber and woody biomass in a forest.
After you've watched this video, check out the NNRG Woody Biomass Calculator Guidebook (https://bit.ly/inventoryguidebook) to find in-depth guidelines for inventorying your forest's woody biomass. Then open up the Woody Biomass Calculator (https://bit.ly/woodybiomasscalculator) to estimate the timber and woody biomass in your forest.
Keep an eye out for additional Tree Tips videos on using the Woody Biomass Calculator and when to do a forest inventory.
