Reading Tree Rings: Using trees to understand our past & present

 

Join Conservation Nebraska for a lesson in reading tree rings with Peter M. Brown of Rocky Mountain Tree-Ring Research. Peter will be our guide into Nebraska’s climatic history and how tree rings have helped us understand our past. He will also discuss how tree rings can be used in the present and the many practices tree rings help influence. Our forest and trees not only give us shelter from the heat and provide a sanctuary for all life, but they have stories to tell.
