a special carbon-negative roundtable is planned for sept. 12 at pony farm in temple NH.
this event will focus on forestry issues as they relate to climate change, carbon and biochar.
attached is a draft poster announcing this event.
the purpose is to invite people to share ideas for a new approach to new england forest management in light of climate change, peak oil and biochar. the very survival of forests is under threat due to accelerating impacts of climate change, acid rain, soil depletion, insect & disease outbreaks, and demand for renewable fuels. trees and companion vegetation can't adapt to such rapid onset of climate change and other stresses.
we need to rethink our forest management to establish new priorities and practices in the light of 21st century realities. two centuries of extractive industrial forestry must give way to a century of stewardship to regenerate and strengthen our regional forests.
in the future, new england forest management must place high priority on managing forests as carbon sinks -- as part of Earth's natural cycle to remove and store CO2 as organic carbon in the biosphere. this one new priority requires dramatic changes in forestry practices, landownership patterns and public policy.
this sept. 12 roundtable is a public opportunity to hear and consider new ideas and strategies to manage new england forest resources, and develop a new vision and consensus of an earth-sensible, sustainable path through the 21st century's many difficulties and demands. it is urgent to develop a vision and plan to assure new england continues to enjoy abundant, healthy forests, and that those forests are able to serve new england communities. failure to think and act now assures the next generations must react to a monumental, unprecedented ecological crisis.
the roundtable planning council is seeking other voices to articulate perspectives on this question of the future of forests. send your nominations for additional roundtable panelists to dr. alan page at:
