SUMMARY:Slow Wood Talk by Brian Donahue
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation from Brian Donahue\, forest historian\, farmer\, and author. Brian is Brandeis professor emeritus of American Environmental Studies and co-author of the reports A New England Food Vision\, Beyond the Illusion of Preservation\, and Wildlands\, Woodlands\, Farmlands and Communities. He is also co-editor of the free e-journal\, From the Ground Up. Brian has devoted much of his career to understanding the historical roots and future implications of human/nature interactions in New England. Specifically\, he and his colleagues have explored the links among community well-being\, sustainable natural resource use\, and nature conservation\, focusing particularly on agriculture and forestry. \nIn this talk\, Brian will discuss his most recent book\, Slow Wood: Greener Building from Local Forests (2024)\, which documents his experience building a timber frame home from the wood growing on his family farm through the stories of the trees he used while practicing “worst first” forestry. The book also explores the history of Americans’ relationship with their forests. Practicing ecological forestry produces a wide range of both low-grade and high-grade wood while maintaining ecological values in the forest\, but it cannot easily compete with larger-scale plantation and short-rotation production and processing\, which saturates the market. Brian will address some of the obstacles we face in increasing ecological\, local wood use\, and the opportunities and levers for overcoming those obstacles. \nParking: Waldorf school parking lot across from the Farm Store \nTalk location: The Learning Center @ 327 Rte 21C\, Ghent\, NY 12075 on the Farm Store side of the road (Between Main House and the barn/CSA pick-up\, signage will be posted)

SUMMARY:Summer Biodiversity Trail Walk
DESCRIPTION:This is the third walk in the four-part Seasons on the Biodiversity Trail guided walk series. The walk will be co-led by Anna (from the Farmscape Ecology Program) and Spencer (from the Hawthorne Valley Farm) and will explore summer’s agricultural rhythms and ecological highlights on the new Biodiversity Trail that traverses hillside pasturelands at Hawthorne Valley. \nWalk participants will have the opportunity to hear firsthand about Hawthorne Valley’s dairy herd and pasture management from the Co-Director of Hawthorne Valley Farm\, Spencer Fenniman. They will also get to see the late-summer flowering plants along the trail and hear more about the wild organisms who share this agricultural landscape. \nThe walk is free\, but space is limited\, so interested participants should register by emailing Anna Duhon: anna@hawthornevalleyfarm.org.

SUMMARY:Historical Weather Day at Martin Van Buren National Historic Site
DESCRIPTION:Join the Farmscape Ecology Program as they set up their historical weather station display for an “historical weather day” at the Martin Van Buren National Historic Site. The weather station display will feature antique and replica weather instruments\, predominantly from the 19th century. The event will be an opportunity to learn about and interact with these early weather instruments\, many of which were manufactured and/or used locally. Some such tools were part of a 19th century meteorological network throughout New York State that included sites in Kinderhook\, Hudson\, New Lebanon\, Chatham\, and Spencertown. Slightly later instrumentation was used by the US Weather Bureau\, the precursor of our current Weather Service. \nVisitors will be invited to try their hand at reading the weather conditions on some of the still-functional instruments\, and learn more about their history and use. A daily almanac derived from meteorological and seasonal observations made by 19th century observers in Kinderhook and nearby towns will be available for perusing\, as well as historical weather maps. These historical weather observations provide a window into how weather and climate has changed since Martin Van Buren’s time\, and some of the local effects of those changes.
