Pockets of Deeper Time

Truly undisturbed forests are incredibly rare on our landscape today, but old-growth trees and ecosystems in a broader sense are more common than many would think- often in unexpected places. Attendees will learn about the kinds of settings where old-growth trees are often found, the physical characteristics by which they can be recognized, and the plants, animals, and other living things that are often found in their company. Examples discussed will be specific to the Western New York region.
