Old Growth Eastern White Pines |
The one-hour documentary uses vintage images, new footage, and aerial views to tell the 4-century story of the eastern white pine's critical contribution to America's founding and history. You may be surprised to learn how significant a role the tree played in this country's formation. And the white pine's importance to wildlife and people is related by three experts in their respective fields: famed Minnesota wildlife biologist Lynn Rogers; Trinity College neuroscientist Professor Susan Masino; and nationally known old-growth forest expert Bob Leverett.

Following the film, there will be a Q&A session with a panel comprised of Bob Leverett, co-author of the Sierra Guide to Ancient Forests of the Northeast; Professor Susan Masino; botanist Jared Lockwood; and naturalist/filmmaker Ray Asselin.
Registration for the 7pm program is required (here); don't wait to register, these events have been very popular!
Further screenings of the film are scheduled for other venues and will be announced on this blog.
