[ESSP] Forest Summit at HCC

[Vanessa Paulman]

Subject: HCC FOREST SUMMIT on THURSDAY and FRIDAY EVENINGS (6:30-9:30 
pm in the HCC Forum)

Greetings Holyoke Community College Alumni, Faculty, Staff, and Students,

Just a reminder that the HCC Forest Summit Series will kickoff 
Thursday night and Friday night (6:30 pm in the HCC Forum) with 
several presenters both nights.  The focus of the Summit will be to 
provide an open forum for the discussion of our Forests past, 
present, and future in the Northeast with particular emphasis on the 
Massachusetts.  This is a timely event because the Commonwealth is 
considering a new management program for our state forests which 
include 300,000 acres of prime, ready-to-cut timber (and about 
3-5,000 acres of primary, old growth forest).  How much of our forest 
do we want cut? How much should be permanently set aside in Forest 
Preserves?

The first Event of the series (Thursday and Friday evenings this 
week, at 6:30 p.m.) will focus on the Old Growth Forests of Eastern 
United States and will include speakers from Minnesota, Ohio, North 
Carolina, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, all top researchers in 
their fields.

Please come and join us for two informative evenings (in the Forum, C 
building). The HCC Forest Summit website with the updated agenda, 
speaker bios, and full details is:
