Re: Undiscovered Old-Growth near Woodward PA??
Attached is 2007 LiDAR color height map for Stateline area. Looking at GE which has 2019 photo, all the trees are still there. Red is over 150, orange over 125, yellow over 100. There are several areas with trees over 150, with tallest LiDAR indicated height in 2007 of 159 feet. For tree height, if ...

Re: Undiscovered Old-Growth near Woodward PA??
I created the GE overlay from ArcGIS, using the color height map I created in ArcGIS from the circa 2008 LAS point cloud file available on NOAA elevation data.
Sure, I can run LiDAR for a couple other locations. Let me know the approximate GPS coordinates and the size of the grove.

Re: Undiscovered Old-Growth near Woodward PA??
I will email you GE overlay file. When loading into GE select open vs import. Then the color height map is yellow over 100, orange over 125, and red over 150 (but didn't note any red). If I missed an area let me know and I will download and run the 2008 LiDAR. To do this I use NOAA Elevation Data an...

There is some old growth and...

Faris goes over the great natural wonders of the whole state of PA, and even describes primeval forest tha...

Re: No more exploring Lumpkin with Dunkin for Pumpkins.
Fair points, and the number of private jets at that annual Davos Sustainability Conference is a running joke. I feel the US is well positioned to take the lead on this issue. In the US coal has been deprecated in power production to natural gas, which is available widely and cheaply through fracking...

Re: No more exporing Lumpkin with Dunkin for Pumpkins.
Verified temperature trend in Sierra Nevada is +2.7 degrees F over past 75 years. This leads to earlier spring snowmelt and more drying in the summer. A warmer and drier forest burns more intensely. I understand the issue of fire suppression, but it is impossible to do controlled burns over all the ...
