Hello again from Forests for Maine's Future.   

 

Bernd Heinrich is one of the country's most popular nature writers, heir to the tradition of Henry David Thoreau, John Burroughs, and John Muir. In our May Fresh from the Woods feature he talks about his Maine woodlands, forest management, and how many of his books had their genesis in Maine.
 

And, in forest news this week:

 

A mysterious bat disease is found in Maine.

 

Legislators urged to help save mill jobs.

 

Will climate change rev up boreal forest growth?

 

Climate change threatens Canada lynx.

 

Species extinction rates overreported?

 

These are only a few of the many stories about forests and forest-related issues we've posted on our website. Click here to see the list going back to the first of the year.

  

See you in the woods!
