Big Trees and Old Forest In New York State

From the time of European settlement in North America until the middle of the 19th century, forests had been viewed primarily by the settlers as an obstacle to civilization; they were something to be cleared out of the way for agriculture or to be unsustainably cut and exploited for profit. By the 1880s, less than 25% of New York State remained forested. Together we will explore trees and forests across New York State, from old-growth cedars growing in Middleburgh, New York, to towering Pine trees in the Northern Adirondack Mountains. We will also view champion trees, many living in your own neighborhood, and we will discuss some of the methods used to measure and age the trees. Join Fred Breglia on a virtual tour to see some of the oldest forests and biggest trees in New York State, as well as learn about the characteristics which define these parameters.
