SUMMARY:MRV Biodiversity Series – Ecological Forest Management
DESCRIPTION:Ecological Forestry – Healthy Woods are Messy \nIn October\, the Biodiversity Series will continue with ‘Ecological Forestry presented by Ethan Tapper – the Chittenden County Forester. \nWhat does it mean to love a forest? \nVermont’s forests are highly-altered: as a result of our land use history\, non-native invasive pests and pathogens\, climate change\, and an array of other challenges and stressors\, our forests are generally young\, simple and degraded\, missing many critical habitats\, features and functions as they head into an uncertain future. As we consider what it means to care for forests at this moment in time\, it is clear that radical action is needed to protect their biodiversity and their ecological integrity\, and to help them build resilience and adaptability as they prepare for the pervasive influence of global change. \nEcological forestry is a reimagined vision of forest management – one that seeks to manage forests “like they manage themselves.” Ecological forestry is regenerative in nature\, using forest management to emulate natural disturbances and natural processes\, to help forests become more diverse\, complex and resilient and even to make Vermont’s young\, simple forests more like old growth forests. It does so while also providing local\, renewable resources – wood – which have global biodiversity and human-rights benefits. \nEthan will talk about what ecological forestry is\, what it looks like\, and why it is so crucial at this moment in time. \nAs the Chittenden County Forester for the Vermont Department of Forests\, Parks and Recreation\, Ethan Tapper advises private landowners\, municipalities\, conservation organizations\, foresters and loggers on the responsible stewardship of forestland\, administers Vermont’s Use Value Appraisal (or “Current Use”) program in the County\, and manages over 4\,500 acres of Community Forests. He writes a monthly column for 11 newspapers and a quarterly column in Northern Woodlands magazine\, maintains a YouTube channel\, and leads public events throughout New England which are attended by thousands of people each year. Ethan is the Northeast-Midwest State Foresters Alliance’s 2021 CFM Forester of the Year\, the 2021 recipient of the Vermont American Tree Farm System’s Education and Outreach Award\, 2020 recipient of Vermont Coverts’ James B. Engle Award\, and the 2022 recipient of the Vermont Urban and Community Forestry Program’s Vermont Tree Steward Award. Learn more about Ethan’s work at: https://linktr.ee/ChittendenCountyForester

SUMMARY:The Eternal Song
DESCRIPTION:Playing October 13th @ 7pm Tickets can be purchased at the concession stand. Across sacred lands\, Indigenous voices reveal both the deep wounds of colonization and the ancestral wisdom that guides us toward healing.\nTHE VISION\nOur vision for the 12-film documentary series is to honor Indigenous resilience\, illuminate sacred wisdom held for humanity and Earth\, and invite healing across communities facing trauma and colonial erasure.\nABOUT THE FILM\nThe Eternal Song\, the first in a 12-film documentary series\, is a cinematic journey through timeless lands and Indigenous cultures. Voices from across generations and traditions invite us to witness the enduring scars of colonization on lands and peoples\, and the healing pathways carried through ancestral wisdom.\nEntrusted with medicine stories\, the film grapples with colonial legacies\, intergenerational trauma\, and the culture of separation that fragments our lives.\nThe film reveals how modernity severs our connection to nature\, each other\, and the ancestral realm\, while feeding us empty promises of salvation\, unlimited consumption and economic growth\, and individual happiness.\nAs we are drawn into the intricate web of kinship and honoring the living presence of Mother Earth\, we awaken a deeper remembrance. A sacred dance comes to life and we begin to hear the eternal song of Life itself\, calling us back to belonging. \nBROUGHT TO YOU BY\nSAND is a nonprofit organization under section 501.c.3 of the US tax code. Its headquarters are on Coastal Miwok and Southern Pomo Land in Sebastopol\, CA. We thank the past\, current\, and future Indigenous stewards of this territory.
