Matt's Eagle Project was a complete inventory of street trees in Ladd's Addition for Save Our Elms.

The organization needed to know species, circumference and location of all the street trees in the neighborhood. A particular interest is the older variety of elm that is susceptible to Dutch Elm Disease.

Matt gives directions: species identification, address recording. Ed and Al work a block of trees.

Matt demos measurement. Skyler and Al take measure.

Matt shows the four teams their assigned areas. Josh hugs a tree. A really big tree.

The crew hangs out and eats when the inventory is done. Matt now faces entry of data on 1000+ trees: location, species and size.
