Toshack M. Adventure Scientists' Tracking Timber Project - 2018 Field Report. Research Permit and Reporting System
The 2018 pilot season of Adventure Scientists’ Timber Tracking Project engaged 110 volunteers in a large-scale botanical collection effort to deter poaching of bigleaf maple, a hardwood valued for its ecological importance and for its attractiveness in furniture- and guitar-making. Our volunteers succeeded in sampling from 1,023 bigleaf maples across California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.
