Join author and journalist Lynda Mapes for a talk and slideshow from her book The Trees are Speaking, just published by the University of Washington Press. Lynda will discuss the vital role of forests in our survival. Yet even in protected areas, our forests are victims of an apocalypse of invasive bugs, fire, and drought. Lynda will discuss her bicoastal journey as a fellow at the Harvard Forest, exploring the connected history of the loss of our old growth forests and the salmon, both Atlantic and Pacific, that they sustain. Lynda also will discuss the new thinking emerging in communities managing forests as more than just commodities.

This presentation is free and open to the public. Contact Bridger with any questions.

We encourage attendees to carpool to our events if possible. Call your neighbors, fill your car, reduce your emissions, and enjoy the company!
