In the bygone days a \u201clumber-jack\u201d felled a massive pine for timber. In the felled tree he found some rot. Still he made holes in the upper parts of the tree just to find out that \u201call that glitters is not gold\u201d.

Notice the beautifully twining and twisting trunks and branches of the surrounding dead pines. Only nature can create such a lovely treat for our eyes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see a lot of traces of ancient forest fires along the footpath. There are traces of soot and ember in the lower parts of dead trees, stumps and even live trees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fcfaee\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"705\" src=\"https:\/\/katkanature.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/puun_mittaus.png\" alt=\"An instructional image on how to estimate the length of a tree\" class=\"wp-image-91\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katkanature.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/puun_mittaus.png 870w, https:\/\/katkanature.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/puun_mittaus-768x622.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#d7e68c\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Estimating the length of a tree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trees grow at different speed in different parts of our country. Both climate and richness in soil nutrients affect the rate of growth and the variety of tree species in a forest. In northern forests, especially in spruce forests, snow accumulation, called tykky, tend to bother trees during winterns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The snow accumulates on the tops of the trees in thick layers and it sometimes damage even fully grown trees. That is why northern spruces have more slender tops than southern spruces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are different ways to estimate the length of a growing tree. One of the most popular methods is shown in the adjoining picture. Try to estimate the average length of the trees surrounding you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A felled tree like this one can tell us quite a lot about our cultural heritage.
