SUMMARY:Farmscape Ecology Field Day at the Hudson Valley Farm Hub
DESCRIPTION:Join us and our colleagues from the Applied Farmscape Ecology Research Collaborative to learn about and discuss the different research projects that occur at the Farm Hub. This event is for farmers\, conservation professionals\, land managers\, and others interested in on-farm ecology to learn about the different research projects that occur at the Farm Hub and discuss their applications. We will host interactive stations\, share insights into our projects\, and discuss their potential applications for farms and land in the region.

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. Space is limited; please register by emailing lstark@hawthornevalley.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.
