Zane Lawyer, Catskill Forest Association’s Education Arborist, will be visiting to give a talk on the evolving meaning of wilderness in American history and its significance for the future of the Catskill region. Following the presentation, a wide-ranging open discussion of wilderness will be held with the audience to further clarify the role of humans in the environment. Participants are encouraged to tell their own stories, perspectives, and first-hand experiences with wilderness and how their own understanding has or hasn’t changed over time.
