Josh, Yes, the Fusion LiDAR software allows me to input Points of Interest in Arc-Info shape *.shp files, so that would be great!! NAD83 state plane NC 3200 feet is the correct projection. I am not able to do much with a WGS84 file. If you have either a .kml or lat/lon for WGS84 for a few of them, I could locate them in GoogleEarth then look for trees in that rough location in Fusion to try to find them.
Thanks!!

I took a waypoint for a 127' Quercus rubra and another for the 20.5' cbh poplar. In between the two is a 150+ poplar I did not way point. I could use ArcGIS to convert the projection to NAD83State Plane NC 3200ft and email it too you as a .shp or a kml file (if I could figure that out) if that would be helpful. I probably wouldn't get to it until monday. If a WGS 84 projected file would be good enough, I could send that to you very easily. Anything anywhere near 171' would be phenomenol!
