2026 Multispecies Census
A rough guide to aging trees.
We use a general way to estimate the age of trees by measuring the circumference of the tree's trunk (at about our shoulder height) and then dividing the number by the tree's growth factor. To do this we need to identify the species of tree. Did you know that trees grow faster in open spaces than woodland?
