SUMMARY:Reading the Landscape
DESCRIPTION:\nJoin us for a one-day land use history program at Yale Camp. We’ll begin indoors with an overview of the cultural and ecological forces shaping this landscape, then head into the field to explore the historic Mansfield/Chattleton farm and, after lunch, the Dorman Farmstead site. Though these farms are now overgrown with mature forest, subtle traces remain – stone walls, cellar holes, wolf trees, and forest patterns – waiting to be uncovered. Participants will take on the role of landscape detectives, piecing together stories of past land use hidden among today’s trees.\nAlong the way, we’ll also look more deeply at how soils, climate, and ecological processes shape forest composition and interact with human activity. This hands-on program blends discovery and critical thinking, offering fresh insights into how the past lives on in today’s forest.\nThis course is for: Those interested in making informed decisions about managing a forest (actively or passively). This includes private landowners, land trusts and other nonprofits, rural municipalities, and the stewards of these forests.\n\n
