Forests are a dominant feature of the New England landscape. This two day New England Wild Flower Society course on October 25 and 27 from 10 – 5 at Nasami Farm in Whately, and other field sites, covers the history, changes in composition, and ecology of the region’s forest from the Ice Age through European settlement. Learn to identify native trees, their habitats, and their communities. Explore the impact of past natural and human disturbances on the landscape and learn how current forestry practices shape forest communities. Taught by forester Jonathan “Yoni” Glogower, and co-sponsored by the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions, the cost is $216 for sponsor members, $254 for nonmembers.
