SEEING FORESTS DIFFERENTLY
Most of us walk through the woods and see trees. But for ecologist and author Tom Wessel, a stroll through the forest is an historical journey; one that tells the story of fires, logging, settlements and storms. Producer Nina Keck recently spent an afternoon with Wessel and learned some ways to read the story of a forest. Tom Wessels’book “Reading the Forested Landscape: A Natural History of New England” is published by Countryman Press.
