Learning at Treeline
We took a trip up to the top of the dome last week to study plants at treeline. But when you're constructing meaning at a conceptual level, you need to establish a context. My group of town kids with little outdoors experience didn't know what "treeline" was. So we started at the bottom and made a few stops along the way to the top. Our resident scientist took core samples from the spruce trees at the bottom, and then again at treeline.
