Old-growth is a scientific term, and as environmental professionals, we need to be advocates for science. At the same time, the term “old-growth” conjures up emotions with most members of the public that shouldn’t be ignored—a notion reiterated in Gifford Pinchot’s 11 maxims.
Yale Forest Forum will hold an Old-Growth: How to Navigate Science and Feelings online program on September 26th from noon to 1 pm EDT.
In this program, Bryan Petit from the National Alliance of Forest Owners will discuss that while ensuring science remains our guiding light and honoring the public’s sentiments are not incompatible endeavors, navigating their simultaneous implementation takes care.
This program is part of a weekly Conserving Mature and Old-Growth Forests in a Changing Climate webinar series Yale Forest Forum is holding this fall with a variety of speakers to share how they are responding to and shaping the discussion on mature and old-growth forests
The series is held on Thursdays from August 29 to December 5 from 12:00 -12:55 pm U.S. ET.
