Geocache Description:

You are seeking a small geocache with log only, byop.


Did this tree go on a diet? We know that all trees do eventually die. There are many hundreds of seedlings and saplings that succumb for every mature tree left in the forest. All ages of trees eventually die to basically the same agents and only the most adaptive trees make it to old age. There are five factors to which a tree eventually succumbs: death from its environment, death from harmful insects and diseases, death from a catastrophic event, death from age related collapse and of course, death from harvest. In most cases, death is the result of several, if not all of these conditions taking place simultaneously. Did this tree go on a diet?
