It does not, in fact, catch me, instead I am falling. A branch knocks me back onto the ravine wall. I slide down, getting covered in mud and dead leaves, hitting rocks and stumps, tumbling down into the dark. My arm gets snags on something. A fallen tree. A gnarled branch. It screeches me to a halt. When my mind catches up to my halted body. I move my arm close to my face and look at it. Beads of blood emerge like seeds sprouting in spring. They grow and burst, flowering down my arm. I follow…

This was repeated for soil, rock, tree, False Brome, etc. for complete analysis. If this was a pull plot, False Brome was pulled within the quadrat and the surrounding area. If this was a pull plot, the steps for determining coverage of plants were repeated. At the corners of the quadrat, tree density was measured by finding the nearest sapling and tree in the direction of the quadrat corner. Using the DBH tape, diameter of the trees and saplings were recorded and tree species was recorded. This…

invisible in the winter time. I fly so close that I feel that I might brushed up against a few. Their gray tips just blend in with the surroundings. A lone tree limb hangs over the edge viewing the wild beneath its shadow. My prop wash certainly makes them sway as if a strong wind had pushed itself through the Venturi effect of the winding tree line. God’s protection allows me to once again travel through corridors of glory unscathed by the wild that is moments away. I want to reach out…

Since this study measured tree characteristics approximately 18 months after the imagery was collected, the d.b.h…
