File:Red oak bore examination - ANC Feb 2013.jpg

English: Stephen Van Hoven, chief of the Horticulture Division at Arlington National Cemetery, uses a magnifying glass to examine at a bore sample taken from a fallen red oak tree in the Millennium Project site at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States on February 6, 2013. The bore was taken from a tree cut down as part of the Millennium Project, which will clear 27 acres of property on the cemtery grounds. The project will add an additional 30,000 burial and inurnment sites. Horticultural experts estimated the age of a number of trees in the Millennium Project site based on height, trunk circumference, and other factors. Many of the oldest, non-invasive trees will be retained. Experts use the data collected from initial trees cut down as part of the project to confirm these estimates of age.
