on THURSDAY and FRIDAY EVENINGS (6:30-9:30 pm in the HCC
Forum)</font><br>
<font face="Tahoma" size="-1"></font></div>
<div>Greetings Holyoke Community College Alumni, Faculty, Staff, and
Students,</div>
<div><br>
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<b> 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).</b> How much
of our forest do we want cut? How much should be permanently set aside
in Forest Preserves?<br>
<br>
The first Event of the series (Thursday and Friday evenings this week,
at 6:30 p.m.) will focus on the<b> Old Growth Forests of Eastern
United States</b> and will include speakers from Minnesota, Ohio,
North Carolina, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, all top researchers
in their fields.<br>
<br>
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:<br>
