See the forest and the trees

Join the Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy Wednesday evening, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. at the conservancy’s historic brownstone barn on the corner of Route 73 and Haldeman Road, just outside of Schwenksville. Timothy Block, director of botany at the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, will be the guest speaker and share his perspective on the future of Pennsylvania’s forests. To better understand our forested ecosystems Block will take you on a historical journey linking the past with the present. He will begin with the practices of the Native Americans of Pennsylvania, examine the perspective of the first Europeans, describe the changes that took place by 1900, and highlight challenges which face us today. Pre-registration is required. Fee: $7 for members/$10 for non-members.
