Scott: If one takes Route 2 (Mohawk Trail) to Notch Road which goes to the Mount Greylock State Reservation, at the Mt. Williams Reservoir you take a right (west) on Pattison Road. We parked at the Pattison Road parking lot just before the Mt. Williams Reservoir water plant for the city of North Adams. The tree is located on the right side of the Appalachian Trail (AT) as one walks north down the slope. There is a short section of the trail between Pattison Road and Route 2 where red oak, black birch, and ironwood are thriven.
I did a tree hug measurement today and its about the same as breast height or 54 inches or 4' - 6". If I really stretched my arms I'm sure I could get a few more inches. The tree I hugged had a 16" dbh. I'll try to check the tree out asap but the only method I can use for height is to climb the tree until I get the proper equipment. I've been derelict in my ENTS duties since I became a member, but I still enjoy the moment. I'll bring a tape so I don't have to use the hug method.
