Student Music - Song Dedicated to the Trees
TREES (sung to the tune of "B-I-N-G-O")

I went to the forest in class one day
to learn about all the tree
T-R-E-E-S, T-R-E-E-S, T-R-E-E-S
and they help us to breath

I laid down my ten meter transect line
surrounded by all the trees
* - R-E-E-S, * - R-E-E-S, * - R-E-E-S
it's free to see, there are no fees

I then found the DBH of all and categorized the trees
*-*- E-E-S, *-*-E-E-S, * - * - E -E-S
and they're home to many bees

Next we recorded all the shrub layer
underneath all the trees
* - *- * - E-S, * - *- * - E-S, * - *- * - E-S
They are so nice to see

Then we looked through the ocular lens
to find the canopy cover of all the trees
* - * - *- * - S, * - *- * - * - S, * - *- * - * - S
And they sway in the wind so free

Lastly we searched for all the trunk and leaf conditions
of each and every tree
* -* - * - * - * , * -* - * - * - *, * -* - * - * - *
