Come to a free talk at Wright-Locke Farm on February 27 at 7 pm organized by Winchester’s Fast Forest on The Importance of Critical Habitats. One baby chickadee “costs” 1000 caterpillars! Come hear the WIN Fast Forest Founder and Director tell us about the cost of chickadees (and other birds); why caterpillars rock; and why mature forests are crucial to the earth’s well being. Prassede Calabi (PhD) will discuss what forests have to do with food pyramids, why we all need to eat our ‘brights’, and how to keep those chickadees going. The Fast Forest project being planted at Wright-Locke Farm is part of a global movement to restore forests as quickly as possible. By supercharging the soil and planting native mature-forest species, Grow Local for The Planet aims to grow New England forests in 20 years instead of 150! Come learn about the mission and how you can get involved.
