Joan Maloof, founder and director of the Old-Growth Forest Network, will share the benefits of ancient forests and "left-alone places" in a virtual program co-sponsored by the Huntington Conservation Commission and the Huntington Library. Maloof's journey began as an ecologist, but she became a writer in order to share what she and other scientists had learned. Maloof is now the author of four books about forests: Teaching the Trees; Among the Ancients; Nature's Temples; and The Living Forest. (All of these are available at the Huntington Public Library.) In 2011, she founded a national organization dedicated to creating a network of forests across the U.S., with one in each county where wild forests can grow and are never logged, that are open for visitors, and have a network of people inspired to protect them. Joan Maloof will give an online presentation, with plenty of time for Q&A, via Zoom on Tuesday, January 26 at 7:00 pm. This event is free and all are welcome.
