Abstract
Jumars,caribineers, pole pruners, tree bicycles, Bosun's chairs, booms, peconhas... these terms are not listed in most biological dictionaries. Nor are construction cranes or large treehouses or hot-air dirigibles listed as priority equipment for any scientific laboratories. But these are the essential tools required to provide some of the exciting results reported at the recent Frist International Forest Canopy Conference during Novemver1994 at the MArie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida.
