Title of this year's project: How did the Papoose Wildfire affect Timber Volume on the Rio Grande National Forest?
Brief Synopsis of your Purpose and Research Goals for your project: I am trying to determine if it is feasible to log an area in Fern Creek that was burned during the 2013 Papoose Wildfire. The area was originally measured by the US Forest Service. I went out and re-measured the burn and compared the numbers to see how much volume was lost due to the wildfire.
What interested you in your chosen topic of research? I became interested on this topic because it was a project I could do outdoors.
