Old-growth tree

This is a tree that has lived hundreds, even thousands of years. Such trees are usually found in mature forests that haven't been subjected to logging operations-a rare forest in this day and age. Old-growth trees are very valuable in the timber market, and so have been heavily harvested; responsible forestry today includes protecting old-growth trees from destruction.

Word of the Day
   Double-glazed window

Glazing is another word for window glass, and this type of window has two panes instead of one, for added insulation. The space between the panes is filled with air, or with a gas (argon), which provides heat and sound resistance. Take note: A good seal is essential to an effective double-glazed window; if yours accumulates dirt or moisture between the panes, the seal is probably compromised-this requires professional attention.
