Hello from Forests for Maine's Future.

Last week we had a bad link to a Science magazine story on threats to bats. This should get you there. 

Dozens of other interesting forest-related stories are available by clicking here.

Meanwhile, check out our latest Fresh from the Woods feature. We call it The Forest Bookshelf, a list of what we think are some of the best books about the northern forest. Just click on Fresh from the Woods to browse our list. And, if you have a suggestion for The Forest Bookshelf II (we know there'll be one, sooner or later) send it to fmf.rankin@gmail.com. Tell us who you are and why you're nominating the title.

See you in the woods!
