Reading the Forested Landscape with Tom Wessels

Landscape is much more than scenery to be observed or terrain to be traveled. Imprinted into the land is the history of how we and other species have inhabited it, the storms and fires that have shaped it, and its response to these and other changes. Few people can “read” that imprint better than Tom Wessels, a terrestrial ecologist and professor emeritus at Antioch University where he founded the master’s degree program in Conservation Biology. His acclaimed book, Reading the Forested Landscape: A Natural History of New England, teaches us to read a landscape the way we might solve a mystery. Watch Tom in action as he "reads the forested landscape" through photos of places he hasn't seen before. Learn more about other Kestrel Land Trust programs at www.kestreltru....
