FACTOID!!
The next time you see a tree stump take a closer look at its rings. Every year most trees produce a light-coloured ring of spring growth and a dark-coloured ring of summer growth. If you count only one ring not both rings, you will be able to tell how old the tree was when it was cut down.


Apple Faces


Take an apple and peel the skin off.

Now carve out eyes, a mouth and a nose.

Wait a day and take a picture, and watch the apple face begin to wrinkle.

As the apple loses water the face becomes all wrinkled like an old man.

Now take another picture.

Wait a few more days and now take another picture.

Send in your three pictures (as jpegs or mail them as prints), and Global Forest will post them in the GF-Gallery along with your name and we will send you as a sticker as a reward!
