SUMMARY:Protecting Half of Earth for All Life
DESCRIPTION:Register here!\nJoin Northeast Wilderness Trust virtually for a talk with special guest Dennis Liu; watch from the comfort of your own home and participate in a Q&A discussion. \nThe goal for global conservation is Half\, inspired by E.O. Wilson’s call to protect half of our precious planet for the rest of nature. Although the “America the Beautiful” campaign\, the US implementation of 30 x 30\, is a good start\, it will not be enough to reverse the current extinction crisis and bring humanity into the safe zone. At this time\, the US currently has about 15% of its land under formal protection for biodiversity\, which matches the global percentage. Half-Earth’s goal of 50% is not reachable in the US through state and federal action alone. It must include conservation by non-profits\, NGOs\, and individuals—including the forever-wild lands Northeast Wilderness Trust protects. Half-Earth’s goal is to leave no species behind. Dennis Liu will feature stories of charismatic creatures like hummingbirds and dragonflies\, and discuss how protecting one species often benefits others. He’ll also talk about what each of us can do as individuals and as communities to support all of the miraculous species we love and need. \n  \nDennis Liu\, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized expert in science education. Midway in his career\, influenced by E.O. Wilson\, he shifted his focus from molecular medicine to what Ed called “the little things that run the world\,” – from ants to hummingbirds to pitcher plants\, the millions of other species our very lives depend on. As Vice President of Education for the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation\, Dennis works to carry forward Ed’s mission to protect our planet’s precious biodiversity now and for future generations. Dennis also serves on the boards of the American Chestnut Foundation\, Homegrown National Park\, and as Board President for the American Conservation Film Festival. \n  \n  \nPhoto: Alder Stream Wilderness Preserve\, ME and farm field across the Piscataquis River by Jerry Monkman/Ecophotography

SUMMARY:Great Trees and Forests of the Northeast\, Past and Present
DESCRIPTION:Register here!\nJoin Northeast Wilderness Trust virtually for a talk with special guests Bob Leverett and Monica Jakuc Leverett; watch from the comfort of your own home and participate in a Q&A discussion. \n“Old-growth forest evangelist” Bob Leverett will take us on a virtual tour of treasured trees and forests in New England and New York. We’ll learn about the many values of old-growth forests\, from both a scientific and spiritual perspective. Bob’s wife and partner Monica will offer supporting insights. This presentation is a must-see for all of our tree-huggers out there. This event is co-sponsored by Kestrel Land Trust. \n \nBob Leverett is co-discoverer of most of the known old growth in Massachusetts. Co-author of several books\, including the Sierra Club Guide to Ancient Forests of the Northeast\, he has been the central figure in the Ancient Eastern Forests Conference Series. Bob is co-founder of the Native Tree Society\, co-founder and President of Friends of Mohawk Trail State Forest\, and Chair of the Massachusetts DCR Forest Reserves Science Advisory Committee. Educated as an engineer\, he is a recognized expert in the discipline of measuring trees for both science and sport. Currently\, he is working with climate scientists to help measure carbon sequestration in individual trees\, and is devising a carbon analysis tool for NEWT and others. \nMonica Jakuc Leverett is a retired professor of music at Smith College\, where she taught from 1969-2008. She is a classical music concert pianist. In addition\, as Bob’s partner and wife\, she has spent the last 18 years exploring forests with him\, helping organize his work and events\, and editing his writings. She is Clerk/Treasurer of Friends of Mohawk Trail State Forest. \nBob and Monica have established the Monica and Bob Leverett Forever-Wild Fund at Kestrel Land Trust. \n  \n  \nPhoto: Eastern White Pine at Eagle Mountain Wilderness Preserve by Brendan Wiltse. \n

SUMMARY:Biodiversity: The Language of Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:Register here!\nJoin Northeast Wilderness Trust virtually for a talk with special guest Janet McMahon; watch from the comfort of your own home and participate in a Q&A discussion. \nUnderpinning the work of Northeast Wilderness Trust is the belief that all organisms\, from charismatic bobcats and bears all the way down to inconspicuous microorganisms like slime molds and nematodes\, have the right not just to survive but to thrive\, reproduce\, and evolve. Ecologist Janet McMahon will share how old forests offer niche and under-represented habitat types\, supporting higher levels of biodiversity across many taxa. Learn how old and undisturbed forests act as lifeboats in the face of extinction\, habitat loss\, and climate change. \n  \nJanet McMahon is a consulting ecologist for conservation organizations\, state agencies\, and private landowners. She developed a blueprint for an ecological reserves system for the state of Maine and her thesis\, The Biophysical Regions of Maine\, is used as a framework for landscape-scale conservation efforts by The Nature Conservancy and others. Janet authored the second volume of Northeast Wilderness Trust’s Wild Works series\, which focuses on biodiversity. Read Wild Works 2 here. \n  \nPhoto: White Admiral butterfly by Bryan Pfeiffer.

SUMMARY:"This Land Was Saved for You and Me" with Author Jeffrey Ryan (Vermont)
DESCRIPTION:Northeast Wilderness Trust\, in partnership with North Branch Nature Center and Bear Pond Books\, welcomes author Jeffrey Ryan to share his new book about the creation of public lands in America: This Land Was Saved for You and Me. Jeffrey will read highlights from “This Land\,” which traces the protection of America’s public lands by identifying a series of critical generational handoffs — from Frederick Law Olmsted to Gifford Pinchot to the generation of foresters that would lead the movement to preserve some lands as forever wild. Ryan’s book features many notable names\, but importantly many lesser-known people whose efforts broke new ground by recognizing that America’s resources were not inexhaustible\, calling for a means of protecting and managing them before it became too late. \nCopies of “This Land” will be available for purchase and signing at the event. $5 from each book sold will be donated to Northeast Wilderness Trust in support of conserving forever-wild landscapes for nature and people.  \n \n

SUMMARY:"Our Better Nature" Book Launch & Biodiversity Walk
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the release of Our Better Nature: Hopeful Excursions in Saving Biodiversity\nJune 15 from 6:00 to 7:30 pm | FREE\nNorth Branch Nature Center \nLearn why Bill McKibben writes\, “This book could not be more timely\, more charming\, more useful\, or more needed! Anyone who cares about our small and lovely state will want to spend time with it – its impact will spread beyond Vermont’s borders.” \n \nA collaboration among Vermont conservation organizations and conservationists\, this work\, grounded in experience and science presents readers with stories\, essays\, and resources to guide and inspire action in favor of nature everywhere. \nDedicated to pioneering biologist and author Edward O. Wilson (1929–2021). \nA lifelong observer of nature\, E. O. Wilson noted what we all must: Of all the challenges facing the planet\, the loss of biodiversity and the current extinction crisis are among the gravest. In the face of this\, and in light of Wilson’s optimism in spite of it\, Our Better Nature offers messages of hope. \n\nStories of creative citizens whose successes with protecting and restoring nature are examples we can apply anywhere. \nEssays by regional experts who help us understand the power of resilient ecosystems\, of nature education for all ages\, and Vermont’s dedication to conservation science.\nResources for turning our collective desire to protect biodiversity into actions that do.\n\nAt the event\, you’ll hear readings from several contributors to the book – George Schenk\, farmer and founder of American Flatbread\, Tom Butler\, Senior Fellow at the Northeast Wilderness Trust\, Alicia Daniel\, founder of the Vermont Master Naturalist Program\, and Sean Beckett\, Director of Natural History Programs at North Branch Nature Center. \nYou’ll also have the opportunity to purchase the book for $25 (by cash or check)\, get your book signed\, see photographs from the book\, and enjoy some refreshments. The event will conclude with a short biodiversity walk led by North Branch Nature Center staff. The first fifteen purchasers will receive a hand painted bookmark by George Schenk. \nIf the weather is nice\, the program will be outside under a tent. If inclement\, we’ll gather in the community room. \nSponsored by North Branch Nature Center\, Northeast Wilderness Trust\, Vermont Natural Resources Council\, and Vermont Alliance for Half-Earth. \n  \nDragonfly photo by Sean Beckett

SUMMARY:NEW DATE: Wild Animals We Thought We Knew
DESCRIPTION:New Date! Register here.\nNaturalist and professional tracker Susan Morse has traveled North America photographing and studying some of our most iconic creatures\, including cougars\, bears\, caribou\, wolverines\, and Canada lynx. Her studies of scent-marking and “babysitter trees” have contributed to the new body of research that shows how little we have understood these animals\, potentially resulting in management assumptions and practices that are inappropriate. Sue argues that it’s time to approach conservation and management with humility. With global warming and habitat fragmentation already impacting the lives and populations of many species\, there is no time to lose. This presentation will offer a fresh synthesis of new discoveries. Sue’s breathtaking wildlife photos will illustrate the talk. \nThis event is co-hosted with Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center. \nThis event is free and made possible by NEWT’s wonderful community of supporters. Please consider a $5-10 donation to support Northeast Wilderness Trust’s work to save wild places. Click here to make a gift…thank you! \n  \n \nAbout the Speaker \nSusan Morse is an ecologist\, professional wildlife tracker\, educator\, and published author. She is the founder and science director of Keeping Track\, a non-profit that serves to engage communities in monitoring wildlife and their habitats. Teams that Susan has trained have conserved more than 40\,000 acres of land throughout North America.

SUMMARY:Bear With Us!
DESCRIPTION:Living with Bears in the North Country…\nRegister here.\nBe prepared for lots of fascinating information on black bear biology and ecology\, with emphasis on the field identification of tracks and sign. Sue is very excited about this show because it offers the most comprehensive discussion of bear scent-marking behaviors\, illustrated with dozens of her original images. As for living in harmony with black bears\, it’s entirely up to us\, as this program will solidly demonstrate. “Bear safety” is achieved largely because of what we do out there\, whether it be in the wild or around our home and farmyard. It is more about what we can do to minimize the hazards we pose to bears. As a bonus we will also explore Sue’s adventures studying and photographing grizzly\, brown\, and polar bears. \nCo-hosted with Mad River Valley Bear Initiative. For more information on the MRV Bear Initiative and resources on living with bears\, click here.  \nThis event is free and made possible by the generous support of the MRV Bear Initiative and Northeast Wilderness Trust. \n  \n \nAbout the Speaker \nSusan Morse is an ecologist\, professional wildlife tracker\, educator\, and published author.

SUMMARY:Saying Yes to Wildlands AND Woodlands
DESCRIPTION:Virtual event via Zoom \nTuesday\, December 15 \n4:00–5:30 PM \nHosted by Highstead Foundation\, Northeast Wilderness Trust\, New England Forestry Foundation\, and Harvard Forest of Harvard University \nFree – Click here to register (Required to attend) \n  \nHow can New England best protect its forests as the region sits at the precipice of climate change\, biodiversity loss\, development\, and forest fragmentation? \nThe answer to this question often falls in one of two camps: either conserve forests as working lands that provide timber and other forest products\, or protect them as wildlands without timber harvesting. In this critical and timely discussion\, two region-wide conservation organizations who approach forest protection from seemingly opposite ends of the spectrum will show how the strategies of protecting wildlands (forests largely left in a natural and undisturbed condition) and woodlands (forests managed to provide wood products) are not in conflict\, but can in fact be complementary. Northeast Wilderness Trust Executive Director Jon Leibowitz\, New England Forestry Foundation Executive Director Bob Perschel\, and Kestrel Land Trust Executive Director Kristin DeBoer will unite their years of conservation experience to demonstrate that protecting both wildlands AND woodlands is an effective approach to addressing climate change\, biodiversity loss\, and economic security. \nAchieving the ambitious land protection goals laid out in the Wildlands & Woodlands Vision—which calls for conservation of 70 percent of New England as forests—requires a full suite of conservation approaches in order to create a resilient\, interconnected landscape that will provide for the health of people and nature for generations to come. Northeast Wilderness Trust\, New England Forestry Foundation and Kestrel Land Trust are each working towards meeting these ambitious goals. While the organizations use different methods\, they share a common belief in and mutual respect for the importance and urgency of one another’s work.  \nThe event will begin with an introduction by Kristin\, then Jon and Bob will weave together their different perspectives to articulate a common\, expanded framework for forests as a natural climate solution. They will then switch roles\, each speaking for the mission and goals of the other. Giving examples from real conservation projects and current initiatives\, they will show how a dual approach of conserving both woodlands and wildlands can result in a better forested landscape for all. They will cover important conservation attributes that can be achieved or not achieved by implementing either wildland or forest management practices. Kristin will moderate the Q&A portion of the event and join the discussion with Jon and Bob to round out the event. \nClick here to register now! \n  \nPhoto: American Robin by Brendan Wiltse \nBy registering for this event\, you will be added to Northeast Wilderness Trust’s monthly Enewsletter\, the Wild Times\, and New England Forestry Foundations Enewsletter.

SUMMARY:Say Yes to Wilderness and Forestry: Making Climate-smart Choices
DESCRIPTION:As part of Land Trust Alliance’s 2020 Rally\, which will be held virtually\, Northeast Wilderness Trust will present in tandem with New England Forestry Foundation about the complementary strategies of wildlands and woodlands conservation. The long debate between leaving forests in a natural\, undisturbed condition versus managing them to provide wood products is as relevant to land trusts as it is to landowners…particularly during a climate emergency. \nSeemingly on opposite sides of the conservation spectrum\, the executive directors from these two organizations will open a dialogue to weave together different perspectives and develop a common\, expanded framework for forests as a natural climate solution. The two speakers will switch roles for the first half of the session\, each speaking for the mission and goals of the other. The session starts by covering important conservation attributes that can be achieved or not achieved by implementing either wildland or forest management practices. \nTwo new conservation tools will be introduced: \n\nNortheast Wilderness Trust’s Wildlands Partnership\, which assists in supporting and designating parcels as forever wild\nNew England Forestry Foundation’s Pooled Timber Income Fund\, which helps landowners and land trusts receive yearly income from Exemplary Forestry practices\n\nCurrent scientific research will help identify the trade-offs from management or forever wild and place them in context of larger conservation goals and ecosystem services. Participants will leave with a new framework for analysis of their own lands and decision on how to treat them. \nClick here to register for Rally 2020 and attend!
