Join us for a presentation about the Old Growth Forest Network by Professor Joan Maloof. A Professor Emeritus at Salisbury University, Professor Maloof, founded the Old Growth Forest Network in order to preserve, protect and promote the country’s few remaining stands of old-growth forests. This program is of particular importance to regional residents as the Town of Lyme now plays an important role in the United States’ biospheric health as a holder of one of three such designated forests in the state of Connecticut. The Town of Lyme’s Johnston Preserve was designated a future Old Growth Forest in 2021.
Joan Maloof is the author of Treepedia: A Brief Compendium of Arboreal Lore, The Living Forest: A Visual Journey into the Heart of the Woods, Nature’s Temples: The Complex World of Old-Growth Forests, and Teaching the Trees: Lessons from the Forest and other publications.
Books will not be available for purchase at the talk, but if you bring your pre-purchased book(s), Joan Maloof will sign the book(s) for you after the talk. All books are available from the usual outlets, such as Amazon or Barnes and Noble or by ordering from your local bookstore.
