About the event
Join Merck Forest & Farmland Center’s Executive Director for an evening of discovery exploring how Vermont’s landscapes connect history, ecology, and our shared climate future. Using Merck Forest as a case study, we’ll trace the region’s ecological evolution, examine how climate change is reshaping our world in real time, and highlight the global significance of this 3,500-acre haven for wildlife and biodiversity.
Set at the edge of one of Vermont’s largest unfragmented forest blocks, recognized for “highest conservation value” in the state, Merck Forest stands as a living example of how local stewardship supports global climate resilience.
Gain fresh insight into how shifting conditions affect forests and wildlife, and engage in a conversation about what we can do, together, to shape Vermont’s wild future.
