📣 EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT: On September 17, the Simsbury Public Library will host The Lost Forests of New England, the first in a series of films that comprise its America 250 Forest Series 🌳.
What were New England’s woodlands like prior to 1600? What do the small old-growth remnants look like today and what special values, if any, do they hold? "The Lost Forests of New England", a one-hour documentary film by New England Forests, addresses these and other questions in an effort to bring clarity to a subject that is often lost in the mists of time. The film tells the story of central New England's pre-settlement primeval forests, factors that led to the nearly complete clearing of those forests, and the discovery of remnants of those wonderful woodlands.
The audience will be treated to a visual tour of woodlands that have endured for centuries, through compelling images that contrast the old growth sites with today’s highly altered landscape. The result is a side-by-side comparison between original and reshaped woodlands that makes a strong case for preserving the ancient remnants.
This film is intended for the general public, but will serve the needs of resource managers, conservationists, and environmental interpreters alike. Reception at 6pm with the film following shortly after at 6:30pm in the Program Room at Simsbury Public Library. The Granby Land Trust is proud to support the America 250 Forest Series.
