If Trees Could Talk

Trees tell us how the land was used in the past by their size and age. Here you can clearly see a border between young and older-growth forests. Notice the relatively smaller tree trunks more densely packed in the young forest, which was previously cleared to use as a pasture until the mid 1900’s. Compare this to the much larger and older trees, as well as the “pits” and “mounds” created when an uprooted large tree falls.
