My favorite science experience was learning about the history of urban forests and the growth of urban trees through tree rings and then getting to share that information with community members. I’ve learned that one Baltimore forest patch is 100 years old, and another has trees that are almost 300 years old. I also like to learn about how local residents feel when they interact with trees and forests near where they live.
