Forest Resilience for the Future
Saturday, June 22 at 9:30 a.m. (Raindate: June 23)
In-person at Rines Forest
No registration required.
Join us for a walk and talk with our Maine Forest Service district forester and a wildlife ecologist from Maine Audubon to learn about how a warming climate is affecting our forests and how we can manage them to be more resilient and adaptive to those changes. The stunning Rines Forest in Cumberland will serve as our laboratory as we gain an understanding of trends in tree health, invasive plants, and wildlife populations. Our walk leaders will also provide information for landowners on how they can manage their forests to enhance fish and wildlife habitat, store more carbon, and be more resilient in the face of climate change.
Guides:
