How can you determine a tree's age from its annual rings?

Each annual ring visible on a tree stump represents one year of growth. A tree adds one ring per year: a wider, lighter ring forms in spring when growth is fast, and a narrower, darker ring in late summer. By counting all rings from the center to the bark, you can determine the tree's age at the time it was felled with great accuracy.

The image conveys a matter-of-fact impression of human intervention in nature, without drama, but with clear visual weight regarding resource use and the passage of time.
