Join us to celebrate author and environmentalist Bob Leverett--with a screening of the film about Ice Glen's old growth forest and the effort to save it, a conversation with Bob and friends, and a toast to his work.

Bob Leverett is co-founder of the Native Tree Society, co-founder and President of Friends of Mohawk Trail State Forest, Chair of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation Forest Reserves Science Advisory Committee, and co-author of the American Forests Champion Tree-Measuring Guidelines Handbook. Educated as an engineer, Bob is a recognized expert in the discipline of measuring trees for both science and sport. Currently, he is working with climate scientists to help measure carbon sequestration in individual trees. Co-author of several books, including the Sierra Club Guide to Ancient Forests of the Northeast, he has been the central figure in the Ancient Eastern Forests Conference Series. A co-discoverer of most of the known old growth in Massachusetts, his association with old-growth forest confirmations dates to the middle 1980s.

Presented by the Berkshire National Resources Council, OLLI at Berkshire Community College, the Laurel Hill Association, the Red Lion Inn, Berkshire Waldorf High School, and Berkshire Preservation Inc.

Hosted by Jenny Hansell, BNRC President and Patrick White, Former Chair, Stockbridge Select Board
