How is the age of a tree determined?
She has searched, not with light and lantern, but well with drill and determination. And counted annual rings.

Can get a supporting role in the celebration of Sundsvall
On weekdays, Jennie works at Mittuniversitetet where, among other things, she teaches practical nature conservation and biodiversity and researches in dendrochronology, the study of annual rings.
The task of finding a commemorative stable is a collaboration between the university and the municipality of Sundsvall.
- I think this tree will play a small role in the celebration of Sundsvall, says Jennie.
