Samson In How to Love a Forest, author Ethan Tapper, Chittendon County Forester (VT) asks: what does it mean to live in a time in which ecosystems are in retreat and extinctions rattle the bones of the earth? How do we respond to the harmful legacies of the past? How do we use our species’ incredible power to heal rather than to harm? How do we reach towards a better future? This book is not in local libraries yet, but is available online from a number of booksellers. In Tug Hill Country, Harold Samson’s first Tug Hill volume, he describes this magnificent area of hardwood ridges, stands of evergreen, rock-strewn pastureland, sliced every so often by the gorge of a roaring stream as having a mind of its own – as do the people who call it home. Tales from the early to mid-20th century give us a glimpse of past times, maybe leading to a better understanding of Tug Hill’s present. This book is out of print but is widely available at local libraries throughout the Tug Hill region. All registered will also receive an online meeting link by email shortly before the meeting date to join in online from home or another location if preferred.
