SUMMARY:Assisted Forest Migration
DESCRIPTION:Join Kevin Evans\, Forester and Director of Woodlands for 
 Dartmouth College's 40\,000 acres of forestlands\, and Peter Clark\, 
 applied forest ecologist at UVM\, for a discussion of assisted forest 
 migration as a forest management technique for responding to the effects of 
 climate change on tree populations. The conversation will be moderated by 
 Russell Muirhead\, Robert Clements Professor of Democracy and Politics at 
 Dartmouth College and member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives. 
 This program is co-sponsored by the Hanover Conservation Commission and the 
 Howe Library.\n\nThis is a hybrid event.  Join us in person in the Mayer 
 Room or online via Zoom. Register for Zoom below\; no registration required 
 for in-person attendance.\n\n'Assisted migration is the human-assisted 
 movement of tree populations or species in response to climate change and 
 could be a proactive\, pragmatic tool for building climate resilience in 
 our landscapes.' To survive climate change\, tree species will have to move 
 faster than their natural rate of migration. Kevin Evans and Peter Clark 
 will talk about their research on forest migration and a collaborative 
 planting project with UVM and Dartmouth in the College's Second College 
 Grant property. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from experts about 
 an evolving practice of planting saplings in our forests that mimics 
 natural range expansion.\n\n\nKevin is a licensed forester and has managed 
 over 40\,000 acres of timberland for Dartmouth College for thirty years.  
 This includes responsibility for the 27\,000 acre Second College Grant 
 property in northern New Hampshire owned by the College since 1807 and 
 managed for the three priorities of education & research\, timber 
 production\, and recreation. Kevin’s responsibilities include strategic 
 planning\, harvesting an annual sustainable level of timber\, overseeing 
 multiple research projects\, and continuously educating students and others 
 about the forest and its systems. Kevin’s management of the Grant 
 property has received multiple awards in recognition of his commitment to a 
 holistic approach and ecological foundation for silvicultural practices.  
 He especially enjoys telling people that the dorm furniture at Dartmouth 
 College is made from the maple wood harvested from the Grant 
 property.\n\nAs an applied forest ecologist at UVM\, Peter Clark is 
 interested in evaluating forest regeneration and developmental dynamics in 
 response to global change and understanding adaptive silvicultural 
 strategies at meeting a diverse suite of ecological objectives. His 
 research background is in forest adaptation\, regeneration ecology\, 
 functional ecology\, and biogeography. He is keenly interested in 
 co-developed science directly informed by natural resource practitioners. 
 His current research involves examining the barriers for operationalizing 
 assisted migration (and other adaptive regeneration efforts for global 
 change)\, the tradeoffs in managing forests for multiple objectives (e.g.\, 
 carbon mitigation versus adaptive capacity)\, and the effects of extreme 
 climate on forest function. \n\nRussell Muirhead is the Robert Clements 
 Professor of Democracy and Politics at Dartmouth College.Muirhead is a 
 frequent seminar moderator for the Aspen Institute. His research focuses on 
 American politics\, democracy\, political parties in the United States\, 
 and the rise of conspiracy theories in United States politics. In 2019\, he 
 co-authored A Lot of People are Saying: The New Conspiracism and the 
 Assault on Democracy. Muirhead was elected to the New Hampshire House of 
 Representatives in November 2020 and assumed office in December. He is a 
 member of the House Election Law Committee. He is also a member of the 
 Board of Directors of the Hanover Conservancy.\n\n \n\n\n\nJoin Meeting:
