The Fall and Rise of an American Forest
by Lawrence S. Earley"
Sorry I haven't written in so long!
But I had to write about a fantastic presentation by Larry Earley given at the Cape Fear Museum on Tuesday night as a part of their Community Conversation lecture series. He had a very informative slideshow and talk about the nature of the Longleaf Pine forest and conservation efforts.
He hasn't made the presentation available on the internets but he has written a book about the subject and gave an interview to the UNC Press- (linked above)
If you are concerned about loss of these forests with their historic, cultural, and ecological significance, please check out the link. Also, the dogwood alliance is actively involved in petitioning corporate consumers of paper products (fast food chains in particular currently) to stop buying paper sourced from these precious forests.
