May 2024 Program: “Northeast Ohio Forests Through Time”
Presenter: Dr. Kathryn Flinn, Plant ecologist in Biology at Baldwin-Wallace University
Date & Time: Tuesday, May 7, 2024 at 7:00 p.m.

Description: What did the landscape of northeast Ohio look like when Moses Cleaveland arrived in 1796, and how exactly has it changed since then? Using multiple sources of evidence including original land surveys and aerial photographs, this talk will show how human land use has affected the amounts, shapes, sizes, types, composition, and diversity of forests in the landscape today. A historical perspective may change what you see on a walk in the woods! Questions are welcome.
