This sets the stage for comparisons of past forests with current study areas that differ in historical land use. Campton has some of the richest records of early surveyor "witness trees" in the region, so he will focus primarily on Campton and surrounding towns. Vandeboncoeur has created maps from early European settlement of the region based on witness trees used to describe property boundaries with forest maps of today and has determined a shift in some forest trees over time. These changes are largely due to human influence but are interesting to think about in terms of climate and natural change as well. Refreshments will be served. www.hubbardbrook.org Plymouth Regional Senior Center
