Join a post-film discussion that will include (along with the filmmaker) Robert T. Leverett (Co-founder, Native Tree Society and co-author, Sierra Club Guide to Eastern Old Growth Forests).
There’s no way you can sing “You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone,” after seeing the new film by Ray Asselin – who will introduce his film and lead a discussion after the screening. His documentary features stunning footage of rare Old Growth Forests in New England, with leading experts and outstanding drone videography helping to tell the story: what our forests once were before European settlement, what changes took place, and what our remnant old-growth stands look like today.
“These old-growth gems…remember events from centuries past, and their weathered, gnarly forms speak to a genetic heritage stretching for hundreds of thousands of years. Pure magic!” – Ray Asselin.
