The purpose of this project is to determine the age and location of pine trees. In a forest like this one, which has been periodically disturbed by humans over the centuries, we can determine landscape changed by studying how pine trees have proliferated. Pine trees typically are among the first to colonize open spaces. Knowing when a pine tree sprouted helps reveal when a pasture of clear cut area was abandoned. With a detailed map we can visualize boundaries and timing of changes to the landscape.
