Join us at the Norwich Bookstore for an evening with the authors of Tending Your Forest: A Guide to Ecological Forest Stewardship in the Eastern and Central United States. Paul Catanzaro and Anthony D'Amato have written an essential guide for anyone who owns or cares about forestland, one that brings a fresh ecological lens to the work of managing family forests for wildlife, carbon, biodiversity, and long-term resilience.
About the Authors
Paul Catanzaro is a professor in the Forest Ecology and Conservation program at the University of Massachusetts and co-director of the Family Forest Research Center, a partnership of the USDA Forest Service and UMass. For nearly 20 years, he has studied family forest owners to understand their goals and challenges, turning that knowledge into practical outreach resources.
Anthony D’Amato is a professor of Silviculture and Applied Forest Ecology and director of the Forestry Program at the University of Vermont, where his research focuses on long-term forest dynamics, disturbance ecology, and silviculture in the context of global change. He has published over 190 peer-reviewed papers and is the author of Ecological Silvicultural Systems.
This event is co-hosted with Vermont Coverts: Woodlands for Wildlife, a network connecting landowners, natural resource professionals, and forest enthusiasts across the state in support of healthy, thriving woodlands.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
