The question: How do the humans that live in the Eastwood area effect the pine trees in eastwoods?
Our thinking: We thought they would have been greatly effected because they live in a city.
Steps
1. Pick a healthy large pine tree
2. Construct the corer
3. Drill into the tree and pull out the core
4. wrap the core in straw
5. Count the rings

We had tried to get trees from all the different aresa of the woods. We had saw that the trees near the road and rail had sufferened from possibly the chemicals used on the road and the wear and tear of humans in the area. The results we had gotten from those trees were discolatiation and they seemed to have more scars in the wood than the ones in the middle of hte forest. The area near the stream were able to grow much more tahn any of hte other trees because they were the closed to the water and they were also exposed to more sun than sun of hte tothers. They resulted in bigger tree rings. The are in the middle seemed to have an average of trees that were inbetween the trees neaar the stream and road.
