SUMMARY:Declining Biodiversity in Upper Valley Forests: Why Forests are Essential
DESCRIPTION:Three regional experts in forest ecology discuss the vital role 
 that forests play for us and for the planet and their complexity as 
 systems. This is the first of three conversations on declining biodiversity 
 in Upper Valley forests. Join us in person in the Mayer Room or online via 
 Zoom. No registration required in person\; register for Zoom here.\n\nThis 
 program is co-sponsored by the Hanover Conservation Commission/Biodiversity 
 Committee\, the Howe Library\, and partners.\n\nForests include trees\, 
 understory plants\, wildlife\, insects\, and microbes in the soil. The 
 speakers will provide a brief history of New England’s forests\, and the 
 many ecological\, cultural and economic services and benefits that these 
 forests provide for us and for our planet. Today\, there are concerns about 
 the health of our forests and their ability to regenerate. Forests will be 
 impacted by global warming\, and\, by sequestering carbon\, have a 
 reciprocal impact on warming. We will learn about some of the research on 
 this. Other observed stresses upon forest health will be addressed in 
 following sessions.\n\nPanel:\n\n    Joseph Tumber-Dávila\, Assistant 
 Professor of Environmental Studies\, Dartmouth College\n    Ethan Tapper\, 
 Chittenden County Forester \n    Katharine Servidio\, Forest Economy 
 Program Manager for VT\n\nModerator: Meg Sheehan\, Lyme Conservation
