Step 1: We went back to the ant colony site and measured the circumference of three trees (that were closest to the mound) at chest height. 
Number of Tree
Type of Tree
Circumference (cm)
Distance from tree to colony (cm)
Tree #1
spruce
1m 38cm
2m 90cm
Tree #2
spruce
83cm
2m 40cm
Tree #3
spruce
11cm
60cm
Height of colony (cm) -- 1m 45cm
Diameter of colony (cm) -- 1m 40cm 

​
As the season changes, the percentage of canopy cover and green ground cover also changes.

Canopy cover decreased to 35%

Green ground cover decreased to 30%

Active Level is 1. We did not see a single ant at all.
