This video demonstrates basic forest monitoring techniques that professionals use when out in the field assessing forest health. This curriculum is part 1 of a three-part series that aims to educate k-5, middle school (6th-8th grade), and high school students about how forest health is monitored within the state of Vermont. 

This work was made possible through a collaboration between the FEMC and students from the University of Vermont's NR206 - Environmental Problem Solving and Impact Assessment course. 

Special thanks to Marlena South, Cooper Talty, Dani Hogan, Peter O'Malley, and Colleen Ward for their hard work on this project.

In addition to the video content, the students have prepared a powerpoint to support the materials taught in this video. For access to those powerpoints please contact the FEMC at https://www.uvm.edu/femc/about/contact .
