2025 Northeastern Old Growth Conference - Wildlands and Old-Growth Forests: A Vision for the Future
Description:
Welcome to the Northeastern Old Growth Conference!
The Northeastern Old Growth Conference brings together researchers, conservationists, planners, policy makers, health professionals, and lovers of wild nature to share their knowledge and perspectives on old-growth ecosystems.
This year’s conference, Wildlands and Old-Growth Forests: A Vision for the Future, reflects the urgency of protecting wildlands and old-growth ecosystems for their critical contributions to biodiversity, climate resilience, and human well-being.
The organizing committee has been hard at work, and we have a wonderful program for you. A detailed Program, including all concurrent sessions and all workshops and field trips, will be provided by late July. Once you have registered, you will receive a follow-up email allowing you to sign up for workshops and field trips.
The conference will take place at the beautiful Bread Loaf Campus of Middlebury College, in Ripton, Vermont, where all meals and optional lodging will be provided for in-person attendees. A remote option is also available.
All meals will be buffet style, with various dietary needs accommodated, but please add your dietary restrictions when you register.
