Simple Forest Densiometer

Project Developed by Brian Swanson


Abstract

  • The forest densiometer provides a practical, objective way to measure the density of tree canopy. This tool removes all guess work out of determining canopy cover, which is a very useful metric for foresters and construction companies looking to predict how much foliage and tree removal must be done in an specified area.

Tools Required for Fabrication

  1. One 3-D printer capable of printing a 102 mm by 102 mm by 20 mm component.

Required Skills and Knowledge

  1. Ability to operate a 3-D printing device.
