Old-growth forests are relatively rare in New Hampshire. This presentation will describe how to recognize the unique physical characteristics, important ecological attributes, and wildlife that favor such forests and their importance as carbon reserves to help cool our planet. We will finish with a visual tour of several of the finest old-growth forests across our state, where ancient trees are a source of awe and inspiration. Recent research has shown that to meet the needs of society and nature, we need both old-growth forest reserves and sustainably managed forests.
