Dendro Field School

Dendrochronology Field School

I have been involved with the Dendrochronology Field School (formerly the North American Dendroecological Fieldweek) since I attended as a student in 2005. I have instructed and co-organized DFS for over a decade. Since 2022, I have directed the workshop.

I encourage everyone to check out the DFS website and come to field school! It is the most rewarding learning and teaching experience I've ever had. If you are a Radford University student interested in attending, reach out to Dr. Maxwell.
