SUMMARY:Letting Nature Lead: The Promise of Passive Rewilding
DESCRIPTION:Join Shelby Perry of Northeast Wilderness Trust for an informative conversation about forest conservation. \n\n\nJoin us for a conversation about restraint\, respect\, and the long view of forest conservation. \n\n\n\n\nPassive rewilding is the practice of stepping back and allowing forests to grow and change on their own. In this event\, we’ll explore what that looks like in practice\, and why it matters. \nTogether\, we’ll consider the benefits of letting natural processes unfold\, reflect on the difference between human and forest timescales\, and think about the value of future old-growth forests whether or not we’re here to see them. \nShelby Perry is the Wildlands Ecology Director at Northeast Wilderness Trust. She oversees all aspects of the Wildlands Ecology program\, which conducts\, supports\, and shares ecological research pertaining to wildlands and inventories ecological values on the Wilderness Trust’s protected lands. She holds a B.S. in Environmental Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an M.S. in Plant Biology – Field Naturalist from the University of Vermont\, and speaks and presents frequently around the Northeast on wildlands\, rewilding\, and old forests. When not working in them\, Shelby can usually be found playing in wild forests\, exploring them on foot\, in snowshoes\, or through the lens of her camera. \nLearn more and register at this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/letting-nature-lead-the-promise-of-passive-rewilding-tickets-1986267147507?aff=oddtdtcreator \n\n\nDATE: Wednesday\, May 27\nTIME: 6:00pm – 7:00pm\nLOCATION: North Adams Public Library\, 74 Church St\, North Adams\, MA 01247
