This will be the first tree-ring specific conference based in the United Kingdom since the 2nd WorldDendro in 1980, but this time, there will be a Scottish twist.

".....I have wondered about trees.
They are sensitive to light, to moisture, to wind, to pressure.
Sensitivity implies sensation. Might a man feel into the soul of a tree
for these sensations? If a tree were capable of awareness, this faculty
might prove useful. "
"The Miracle Workers" by Jack Vance
