Before we begin, there are tools that we will be needing. These tools include; 2 measuring tapes, plastic flags, a clipboard with a piece of paper, a pencil, a compass and a metal grid and push pins. These tools can be collected from the ecology department at UMASS. After collecting all of the tools, the experiment can begin. There are two sites that will be used to collect the data. The first location will be in the woods behind Orchard Hill dormitories. The other location will be in the woods behind Southwest dormitories. A map is provided below with the exact locations of these woods.In addition, we will use photos of specific trees and lichen to aid in identification. We will pick a location in these woods and measure out a 4 x 4 meter plot . This plot will be measured using the measuring tape.
