This is an important question for land owners to consider because it will guide choices in how they make manage decisions. We’ll consider how factors like land-use history and how insect pest outbreaks shape the forests around us, and use a variety of tools with which scientists measure different attributes of the forest in the same way your doctor collects different kinds of information about you during a physical. Terrain is gentle-to-moderate. https://maps.google.com/maps?z=16&daddr=++Old+Lyme+CT+06371+ More information about Ecological Expeditions - Forest Ecosystem Health
