Make a Biltmore Stick: Environment + STEAM
Biltmore sticks, or cruiser sticks, were developed on the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina in the late 1800’s to measure approximate tree diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree height. The Biltmore stick uses the principle of right triangles and sight lines to convert circumference into diameter for the user. It is a quick and easy way for students and adults to estimate the volume of a tree with a minimal amount of math. With the volume of a tree, students can then calculate timber value or
