Join us on Thursday, November 12 at 6:30 pm for our Annual Meeting as we celebrate a year of stewardship, land protection and community engagement.

We’re thrilled to welcome Ethan Tapper, a nationally recognized forester, ecologist, best-selling author and digital storyteller from Vermont, who will share insights from his latest and highly anticipated second book, The Forest Year: Finding Hope in a World Worth Saving.

Tapper’s New England Book Award-winning literary debut, How to Love a Forest: The Bittersweet Work of Tending a Changing World, explored the complex reality of what it means to care for forests at this moment in time. His follow-up, The Forest Year, expands on those themes, following Ethan across a single year of life and stewardship at Bear Island, his 175-acre forest in Vermont. The Forest Year is a book about trees, forests, birds and wildflowers, but also about community, resilience, stewardship and the profound and beautiful thing that happens when we decide to stay.
