Stow contest draws 17 entries; commissioners plan October measurements
Summary
The Stow Big Tree contest has received 17 applications so far; commissioners agreed to pair volunteers for field measurements and to avoid height measurements as a primary metric due to accuracy concerns, targeting October for site visits.
Commissioners discussed logistics for the August Big Tree contest after S5 (Jeff) reported 17 submissions to date. The group considered methods for measuring entries and agreed pairing volunteers would improve efficiency and accuracy.
Members worried that height measurements would be unreliable in some yards due to limited sightlines and elevation differences. As a result, the commission proposed not relying on height as the primary metric and set October as the target month to conduct measurements and finalize contest winners.
