Welcome to the Northeastern Old Growth Conference! We are looking forward to joining together with all who love old-growth forests and want to learn about their value, their ecology, and their conservation. We look forward to seeing you in person at Middlebury’s beautiful Bread Loaf Campus in Ripton, Vermont, or online, where talks will be livestreamed and recorded for viewing after the conference.
The Northeastern Old Growth Conference brings together researchers, conservationists, planners, policy makers, health professionals, and lovers of wild nature to share their knowledge and perspectives on old-growth ecosystems.
This year’s conference, Wildlands and Old-Growth Forests: A Vision for the Future, reflects the urgency of protecting wildlands and old-growth ecosystems for their critical contributions to biodiversity, climate resilience, and human well-being.
