Image taken at coordinates 73-21; direction S85E; distance 145ft; with a bearing of S48E. Hard maple and yellow birch with beech understory - many of the hardwoods that are to be cut as a result of treatment application, will be excellent growing stock quality. String in picture was used for 100% cruise.
