Big Trees of Northern New England Library Event

Big Trees of Northern New England 

Saturday, September 23 

10:00 AM—12:00 PM 

@ the Library 

Do you want to learn about the biggest trees in Massachusetts and Northern New England?

Wooden boatbuilder, outdoorsman and Big Tree Program measurer, Kevin Martin, will be showing and discussing these trees as described in his new book Big Trees of Northern New England. You will hear how he got involved in finding the trees, how lumber from similar trees is used in his boat-building work, and how wildlife uses these impressive elements of our landscape. The discussion will cover trees on public land in the region, and where they are located so you can go see them for yourself. City tours are also described. He will also highlight some trees local to the area.

The presentation will be followed by a local tree tour with Kevin and the West Newbury Tree Committee to learn about tree ID and to see how they are measured.
