From Farm to Forest Tom Evslin, serial entrepreneur, high tech leader, futurist and Stowe resident will lead a discussion about why carbon sequestration by trees is a crucial way of reducing atmospheric CO2 and its short and long term effects.

VT can both reduce net emissions and repurpose dairy farmland which is no longer productive with a combination of restored forestland and building badly needed housing. Repurposing can provide a hard earned "out" for owners of outdated farms. More forests will change the appearance of VT just as the decline of hillside sheep farming did more than a century ago.

This talk explores both the potential and the downside of farm to forest conversion.
