The author, ecologist, conservationist and founder of the Old-Growth Forest Network, discusses and signs copies of "Treepedia: A Brief Compendium of Arboreal Lore" outdoors at Veblen House.
Featuring nearly 100 entries — on topics ranging from tree ecology and conservation to the role of trees in religion, literature, art, and movies — this collection is a celebration of all things arboreal. The book is portable in size and is made from 100 percent recycled, uncoated, wood-free paper. Illustrations are by Maren Westfall.
This is a special event of the Princeton Environmental Film Festival presented in collaboration with the Friends of Herrontown Woods and Labyrinth Books.
Directions to Veblen House:
Please note: In the event of inclement weather, the event will be moved to the library's community room. The library requires that masks be worn at all times while in the building.
About the author:
Joan Maloof, professor emeritus at Salisbury University, founded the Old-Growth Forest Network to preserve, protect and promote the country's few remaining stands of old-growth forest. She spends her time lecturing, writing, visiting forests, assisting private landowners, and supporting local groups trying to protect community forests from development.
This is an in-person event in the clearing by Veblen House at Herrontown Woods. Some seating is available, but if you have a folding chair to bring that would helpful.
