GPS A Tree

[612]

We would like to GPS the individual trees on our property. Recording location, type, height to the first limb & diameter to a spreadsheet along with the current market values per spices. Once this done we can then go directly to the Oak, Walnut or etc trees on site and have an approximate current value. Anyone have any experience with the GPS equipment this would require and any software available to pull this information together? Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

What you're talking about doing is called "Stem-Mapping". It's time-consuming and expensive, and is best used in the context of a larger inventory project. A volume cruise would be faster and cheaper. Any local forester should be able able to do that for you.
