SUMMARY:OCCA Lecture: How to Love a Forest with Ethan Tapper
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to love a forest? In this talk\, Ethan Tapper\, a forester\, author and content creator from Vermont\, will draw from his work as a forester and his bestselling book — How to Love a Forest: The Bittersweet Work of Tending a Changing World — to discuss what it means to care for forests and other ecosystems at this moment in time. How do we respond to the harmful legacies of the past? How do we use our species’ incredible power to heal rather than to harm? How do we reach towards a better future? In a time in which many believe that “protecting” ecosystems means protecting them from ourselves\, Ethan argues that humans must take action to help ecosystems heal and to move into a more abundant future. Ethan’s message is at once compassionate and pragmatic\, clear-eyed and hopeful\, sobering and inspiring – a powerful new idea for how we can build a world that works for all of its ecosystems and all of its people. \n  \nThe Be Informed Lecture Series is brought to you in partnership between Mohican Farm and OCCA. This program will take place at the Fenimore Art Museum’s auditorium on Thursday\, March 13 at 7 pm. \nPlease register at occainfo.org

SUMMARY:Postponed! OCCA Lecture: Japanese Knotweed

Join CRISP Terrestrial Invasive Species Manager Dan Snider-Nerp to learn about current best management practices for Japanese knotweed and its closest relatives\, as well as experimental management methods\, and the future of sustainable management for this species in the Catskills.” \nThis program will take place in the Community Room of the Clark Sports Center at 7 pm on Wednesday\, April 9.

SUMMARY:Woodcock Courtship Dance at Parslow Road
