SUMMARY:Tom Butler: Rewilding: Past\, Present & Future
DESCRIPTION:Rewilding is often thought of as the act of giving the land back to wildlife\, and wildlife back to the land. Tom Butler will give a brief history of the rewilding movement\, take a look at where the movement stands now\, and cast a glance into the future to consider where an eco-centric path forward might take us. Join us for this presentation that will zoom in on the local and encompass the global. \nClick here to register for this Zoom Webinar! \n  \nTom Butler is the author or editor of more than a dozen books including Wildlands Philanthropy\, Plundering Appalachia\, Keeping the Wild\, and ENERGY: Overdevelopment and the Delusion of Endless Growth. As Northeast Wilderness Trust’s Senior Fellow\, he serves as an ambassador for wild values. Before joining the staff\, Tom was a founding board member and past board president of the Wilderness Trust. Tom formerly worked for the Foundation for Deep Ecology and Tompkins Conservation (where he now serves as a board member)\, and as an editor for Wild Earth journal. When not in front of a laptop he spends as much time as he can exploring in his canoe. \n*This talk will be recorded and shared on our YouTube channel and Facebook page afterwards; a link will be emailed to all registrants.

SUMMARY:Sue Morse: Meet an Old-Growth Forest
DESCRIPTION:Ecologist and professional tracker Sue Morse will guide participants through the characteristics that set apart old-growth forests from their younger counterparts. We’ll start with the structure of an old forest\, from large trees to standing snags to abundant downed and decaying wood\, and look at how those features support plants\, fungi\, and wildlife. Sue will share her personal stories from decades of studying the landscape and the wild creatures who depend upon old and wild ecosystems to find refuge. We recommend watching “Rewilding the Northeast” in advance of the event; this 10-minute video is an introduction to wild\, old forests and to Sue’s research and forever-wild land\, Babysitter Swamp. Co-hosted with Keeping Track. \nClick here to register for this Zoom Webinar! \n  \nSue 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 Sue has trained have conserved more than 40\,000 acres of land throughout North America. \n*This talk will be recorded and shared on our YouTube channel and Facebook page afterwards; a link will be emailed to all registrants.

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. You may unsubscribe at any time. \n

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!
