It could be said that de the dependen clause in this paragraph might be " Where she proceeded to chew a hole in the trunk". This clause modifies the "tree" (place) where she decides to climbed up. Let's remember that a dependant clause cannot function on its on, it will depend on another clause to make the sentences complete in meaning.
