What makes it inaccessible


The stand density is extremely high, you can't get a boat, pirogue, etc... into a lot of these areas just because of how thick the timber is. You've also got to contend with massive amounts of aquatic vegetation (lily pads, hyacinth, slavinia, hydrilla, etc...).

You can carbon date a tree. The center of all trees are dead, only the cambium layer/very outer edge of a tree is alive. The oldest one I harvested was dated at around 1000 years old. Not sure how accurate that is, though.
