The Ecology of the North Woods – A Closer Look at Summer

 The Ecology of the North Woods - A Closer Look at Summer

Chris Lewey 

In this slide/lecture program, we will take an ecological look at Summer in the North Woods. Our adventure begins at the summit of Mount Washington where man has been able to adapt in order to survive some of the most severe weather ever recorded. In this land above treeline rare and intriguing alpine flora can be seen surviving the harsh Arctic-like conditions. We'll then descend into the forest and valleys below to take a closer look at some of the wildlife that calls New Hampshire home. 

What strategies are adopted to survive the drastic changes in New England's seasons and how birds and mammals are shaped by this northern environment will be some of the questions answered. The northern forests provide the scenic backdrop as we take this fascinating closer look at Summer.
