the clues in a stump


Wessel describes for us some of the things we can learn from a tree stump - the age of the tree, the species, and the practice implemented that lead to the clearing of the tree. This picture may include the clues needed.

The historic picture below tells a story much longer ago and depicts a time that tree stumps no longer exist to tell a story. The 5 masted scooners are loading pines for ship masts.

The use of historical photographs is another way to interpret the history of the landscape. Thank you for sharing these with our class. This was a highlight of our experience.
