5/22 - Nature’s Temples: The Complex World of Old Growth Forests with Joan Maloof
Meet Joan (and your FODF friends) a virtual/in-person talk celebrating Nature’s Temples: The Complex World of Old Growth Forests. It’s at the Princeton Public Library, 6:00 - 7:15pm. And we’re a co-sponsor!
The book makes a powerful case for protecting old forests, as well as for letting younger forests grow old. It packs lots of scientific information into an easy, fun read (as do her other books). A top pick on our Forest reading list.
Strong Support For Drew Forest Preservation Continues
By Tyler Barth for TAPintoMadison
“Mayor Bob Conley received a letter from the Friends of the Drew Forest and various shoppers during a visit to the Farmer’s Market recently, signed by over 90 people. He showed the letter during the Feb. 14 town meeting, held virtually.
Madison has repeatedly stated its vocal support for the preservation of the 53-acre forest, which has been under threat of possible redevelopment in the past few years, as Drew University sells off land to recoup financial costs. The Forest has endured nearby industrialization and large-scale redevelopment and has remained mostly unchanged throughout the past 150 years, one of the few swaths of land in New Jersey like this.”
Old-Growth Forest Network Founder, Ecologist, and Author Joan Maloof Calls for Preservation of the Drew Forest
Dr. Joan Maloof added her voice to the chorus of calls for the preservation of the Drew University Forest Preserve at a virtual meeting of the Borough Council on Monday, Jan. 24.
Scores of people, mostly Madison residents and Drew alumni, have called for the forest’s preservation at council meetings and online over the past year, but Maloof is among the highest-profile advocates to speak out.
