Forestry Day Home Act Like a Tree How Big? How Old? Forest Diversity Finding Direction Get Warm!

Coring trees allow foresters to count and measure tree rings, a way to measure tree age and growth.  The Girl Scouts were successful in finding trees of 160 and 197 years old!

 

With a little effort and patience, the tree ring core is extracted.
