“Forest Recovery from Human Land-Use: Implications for Streams and Carbon Storage” a Howard E. Woodin Environmental Studies Colloquium Series talk by Stephen Peters-Collaer, PhD student in forest ecology in the Carbon Dynamics Lab at the University of Vermont.
Franklin Environmental Center, The Orchard-Hillcrest 103
This practice-based activity is open to anyone on campus, but especially those interested in thinking about ecology beyond traditional Western disciplinary lenses. We will use drawings and sound to consider the boundaries between more-than-human nature and embodied experience that Gloria Anzaldúa set out in her mediations, which proposed a feminist approach to the spaces and places at the U.S-Mexico border.
Meet at the front porch of Franklin Environmental Center at Hillcrest to join the popular Fall Family Weekend Campus Tree Tour led by passionate Middlebury horticulturalist and tree expert Tim Parsons. Learn fun facts and hear stories about various trees around campus. Tim will also explain how he manages our rural Vermont campus as an urban forest.
As the maple leaves turn gold and plant friends begin to fruit and flower, we are also welcoming one of the well-celebrated East/Southeast Asian festival - Mid-Autumn Festival, deeply connected with culture, community, and land. With the peak harvest season having come to the Knoll, it is time to celebrate this abundance together with friends and loved ones. Join us for a Mid-Autumn Harvest Festival at the Knoll with music, performances, and food!
