I watched a replay of Wednesday's virtual presentation on Connecticut's Forestlands by Connor Hogan, director of the McLean Game Refuge, to learn about Connecticut’s aging forestlands and their potential to become old growth.

Four hundred years after the arrival of Europeans and the intensive land use that followed, forestland is finally recovering throughout the Northeast. 

Another wonderful event sponsored by both the Granby Public Library and Granby Land Trust.

About the presenter:

Connor Hogan joined the McLean Game Refuge in the summer of 2017 as the fourth director since it opened in 1932. Connor oversees research, conservation, education, and recreation across 4,400 acres of forests, meadows and waterways. He works closely with the McLean President and the Board of Trustees to carry out the management goals set by founder Senator George McLean.
