Preliminary:Forestry

[mingtian]

Apparently I didn't have wax paper. I tried the plastic from a Ziploc bag and parchment paper. They both do not work.

OK, here are the microwave results:

This is the second one, which I put into the microwave [b]between some paper towels and under a plate[/b]. This method seems to work.

After you microwave the leaf, is it still necessary to iron it with wax paper?

ya i think it is, i think it helps preserve it better.

forestry is a good event, hmmm, though i am not excited about the ID.

Well, most of it is ID. Are you studying ID yet. hmmmmm?

So in Forestry I know obviously there is ID in it.. But what consist in the other questions? Random facts about trees?

ya, its just facts about trees like their economic benefits, habitat, physical features etc.

oh and ming, i have started ID. Its boring but I am doing it.

hm, can someone try to find a copy of the 2004 rules for forestry and upload it onto the wiki? because...that would be helpful with studying..

I don't know about 2004 rules but there is a copy of the 2005 rules on the wiki

Does each person get to bring a guide and notes, like Ornith this year? Also, do we need to delve into the microscopic and study all that stuff too?

Rules aren't out yet, but I'd say we probably will get the same resources as last year.

you mean one 8.5 by 11 inch paper and a field guide per person?

If you have a field guide, why would you need a 8.5 by 11 inch cheat sheet? Audubon has economical and random info about trees in it.

[tuftedtitmouse12]

for general stuff? for stuff that might not be in the field guide and is too hard to put into the field guide?
