SEMAP Forestry Talk & Walk

With Rupert Grantham, Forestry Consultant

Free Event!  The future of Massachusetts’s forestland: Forest fragmentation is as big a problem as ever. Our forests are invaluable in the ecological services they provide yet they can not stand up to ever increasing development values. What do we want our communities to look like in the future?

We will examine the history of land-use in the southeast and how it has shaped the forests we see today. We will also consider the history of our working landscape; the value and importance of actively managing lands and supporting a sustainable local forest products market.  A short presentation will be followed by a forest walk.
