This is by far the easiest way to measure the height but you stick need to be about twice as long. You need a stick that is long enough so that you can extend it out from your eye and grab a hold of it at that point with your outstretched arm. That is the part that you will be using to do the measuring but by having a longer stick it will be much easier to hold it vertical.
By holding the stick at the end of your horizontal outstretched arm the stick will extend above your arm the same distance as it is from your eye to the stick. With the stick vertical and your arm horizontal you will have a 90� angle with a 45� at your eye and at the top of the stick. Back away from the tree until the top of the tree is in line with the top of the stick. At that point the height of the tree is equal to the distance you are away from the tree plus the height of your outstretched arm. If you are working on a slope you will also need to take any change in elevation into account.
