Trees are one of the forest's best record keepers, storing their stories just beneath the bark. Join BHHT Summer Intern Eleanor to learn more about the ecological history of Surry Forest and dendrochronology! Dendrochronology is a method of dating past events that have impacted tree growth, and is used as a tool to create records of shifts in climate and physical conditions. We’ll be learning how to use increment borers to investigate the growth records of trees, compare how historical events have impacted various tree species, and use our findings to create a hypothesized timeline of the forest.
