Dear colleagues,
A friend of mine has been involved with assessing the damage following a
fire, and I've been helping with forest mensurational aspects.  One of the
problems with which I cannot help him, is attaching a monetary value to a
windbreak which was destroyed in the fire.  Assessment of the volume involved
is easy, but the value in terms of shelter to livestock and crops,
and aesthetics, is much greater.
I know there is somebody out there who has dealt with a similar problem,
and I should appreciate it if I can be pointed in the right direction.
Thanks for your time,
Brian Bredenkamp
