Goal: Identify Black Walnut trees and extract core, leaf, and twig samples
Some notes:
- Make sure you don't sign up to sample from private land. Use the GaiaGPS app's shading feature to determine if a piece of land is private or public.
- Identifying Black Walnut trees is pretty hard; use the iNaturalist app to determine if there are any previous sightings of Black Walnut trees - you need to cross-verify if those sightings are unsampled.
- Extracting the leaves and twigs is very hard; extracting the core is probably the easiest thing to do. Make sure they send you a borer tool.
