Trees have birthdays too, and scientists find out when they are by studying their rings. This week on The Children's Hour we learn how to date trees, using dendrochronology with Dr. Peter M Brown from Rocky Mountain Tree Ring Research, which has a list of the world's oldest living trees. We can learn more than just a tree's age when we study its rings. Scientists can tell a lot about climate, fires, and even human or animal scarring. This show is mixed with excellent, old tree-loving music.
