MEMOIRS 

Lines and patterns in nature are mother nature’s MEMOIRS. Patterns of a tree can go back over hundreds and hundreds of years. They tell us the age of the tree, whether there were fires, insect outbreaks, they inform us about climate changes and the wood quality. It is like a book that tells us the tree’s life history and the environmental conditions it grew in.  

This information helps scientists discover how climates may be changing and affecting forest ecosystems over time. It is a book that we not only should read but follow to learn from the history and make the life style adjustments that are required.
