Event: Tree Rings at Harvard Forest

Saturday, January 25th
11 AM – 12 PM 
Meet at the Fisher Museum (directions)
324 N Main St, Petersham, MA 01366 

Image shows a graphic with text, including information noted on this webpage, plus a description of activities: "meet the tree ring lab; tree coring demo; tour of the lab; learn about old growth forests; and find out what tree rings can teach us."

FREE AND OPEN TO ALL!

Come to Harvard Forest for another free public event and meet our tree ring lab crew! Together we will do a tree coring demonstration, tour the tree ring lab, and learn more about the research here at Harvard Forest. By analyzing tree rings of old growth trees, we are able to better understand events of the past and how they impacted our forests. With this information, we might be able to predict how our old growth forests will be impacted in the future. 

Includes a short, level walk. RSVP not required. Questions or accessibility considerations? Contact Elodie Eid, Education Assistant.
