Old forests capture a special place in our imagination\, and they provide important ecological functions. Join a discussion to learn more about what old forests look like (it’s not always what you expect!)\, why they matter\, and where they are found in our state and region. \nTalk #2: Understanding ongoing conservation efforts \nTuesday\, June 18\, 2024\n7:00 –  8:00 p.m. ET\nSpeaker: Bob Zaino (Natural Community Ecologist with Vermont Fish and Wildlife\, and Co-author of Wetland\, Woodland\, Wildland: A guide to the natural communities of Vermont). Learn about ongoing efforts to find\, map\, and conserve old forests in Vermont. Take a virtual tour of some of Vermont’s most fascinating old forests. Finally\, learn about efforts to enhance old forest representation as part of broader conservation vision for Vermont. \nTalk #3: Wildlife and Old Forests \nTuesday\, July 16\, 2024\n7:00 –  8:00 p.m. ET\nSpeaker: Jill Kilborn (Nongame Bird Project Leader\, VT Dept. of Fish and Wildlife). Learn about wildlife and old forests in Vermont. What old forest characteristics are important for wildlife\, and what species are more likely to be found in these places. \nTalk #4: Management strategies to develop old forest conditions \nTuesday\, August 6\, 2024\n7:00 –  8:00 p.m. ET\nSpeaker: Guild member Anthony D’Amato (Professor and Director of UVM Forestry Program and UVM Research Forests). Learn about ecological silviculture and forest management strategies to promote old forest development. Discussion will include old forest structural characteristics and active strategies to enhance both the health of your forest as well as promote the development of old forest characteristics. \nTalk #5: Ecological silviculture in action at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center \nTuesday\, October 1\, 2024\n7:00 –  8:00 p.m. ET\nSpeaker: Guild members Rick Morrill (Northern Forest Conservation Services) and Jared Nunery (Orleans County Forester) will introduce the landscape setting of the COC trail network and discuss the local application of ecological forestry and silviculture.
