"The Once and Future Forests: What 21,000 Years of Prehistory Tells Us to Expect in a Warming World"

Mark your calendar for the next NEBC Meeting on Saturday, October 3, 2020 at 7pm via Zoom.

Abstract: The New England/Acadian forest is a unique meeting place of northern and southern species. As a boundary ecosystem, it's also a sentinel of global change, and we're already seeing evidence of species on the move, including the arrival of invasive pests. From the long legacy of human activity, to the deep prehistory of its trees and wildlife, this talk will explore what the past history of this forest can teach us about extinction, resilience, and change in the coming centuries.
