We will discuss and observe how the physical and aesthetic characteristics of each tree, its wood, and other component parts, have led to its place in each culture that has encountered it. Come discover why locust and pine win naval battles, how Judas turned the flowers red, and how roller skating changed the industrial textile industry.
