The Hanover Conservation Commission & Biodiversity Committee will host a panel discussion with a dynamic and diverse group of practitioners and scientists to discuss the importance of letting local, native forests grow old in the Upper Valley. This practice has benefits for forest health and public health—particularly in the face of climate change. The panel discussion will cover the value of creating reserves, old growth, wild forests and how to create them in your community and on your lands. There will be a chance for the public to ask questions at the end of the discussion.
