Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: Science & Management Forum: The Future of Oak Forests Saturday, May 7, 2016 Did you know that oak forests are in decline throughout the Northeast? Many of our forestlands lack the young oaks needed for successful regeneration. When mature oaks are lost through harvest, age, or disturbance they are often replaced by other types of trees. Interested in the future of oak forests? On Saturday, May 7, the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies will be hosting a special forum on the topic. Event co-sponsors include the Dutchess Land Conservancy, Great Mountain Forest, New York Forest Owners Association, and Oblong Land Conservancy. Discover how absence of fire, deer proliferation, shade-tolerant maples, logging practices, and climate change threaten oak regeneration. Explore the importance of oaks to wildlife and how land use practices set the stage for oak declines. Through an interactive panel, gain firsthand knowledge about how private forest owners and land managers can make a difference.The event will take place at the Cary Institute Auditorium located at 2801 Sharon Tpk. (Rt. 44) in Millbrook, NY. It is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
