Dendrochronology is a scientific technique by which counting tree rings in a cut-section provides the age of the tree at the time of felling. If you can read between the lines of this sleeper, there’s a full record of the past climate, geography and landscape. Of course the trees we cut today and we cut a lot of them in Kinnaur in the name of development, disregard and theft—will have a different story to tell to our grandchildren.
