+The_Westies Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 One for the nature lovers out there. As featured on Autumnwatch, the Woodland Trust are running a campaign to identify the countries Ancient trees by hugging them. Each hug (measuring around 1.5 metres) = 75 years. Alternatively you can simply take a tape measure and divide the total centimetres by 2 to work out the age. The measurement must be done 1.5 metres up the tree. Once found there's a form to fill in and the tree can be registered on-line with your name against it. There's even space on the form to say if you're recording as part of an Organisation. Imagine how many us geocachers could find. The aim of the hunt is to locate and identify our ancient trees, create a database of them in order to help conserve them. As cachers we must walk past plenty of these all the time. There's an interactive map and even if you find a tree that's already been found you can log that you've visited it. Further details can be found at http://www.ancient-tree-hunt.org.uk/project/hunt/. Happy hunting. Quote Link to comment
