Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning (GMALL) is delighted to host Merck Forest & Farmland Center’s Executive Director, Rob Terry, for an evening of discovery exploring how Vermont’s landscapes connect history, ecology, and our shared climate future. Using Merck Forest as a case study, we’ll trace the region’s ecological evolution, examine how climate change is reshaping our world in real time, and highlight the global significance of this 3,500-acre haven for wildlife and biodiversity. Set at the edge of one of Vermont’s largest unfragmented forest blocks, recognized for “highest conservation value” in the state, Merck Forest stands as a living example of how local stewardship supports global climate resilience. Gain fresh insight into how shifting conditions affect forests and wildlife, and engage in a conversation about what we can do, together, to shape Vermont’s wild future. Registration is $20 per person. For more information or to register, please call 802-867-0111 or visit our website at greenmtnacademy.org.
