SUMMARY:In Conversation at the Witherle: Noah Charney and Heather McCargo
DESCRIPTION:Noah Charney and Heather McCargo will discuss Dr. Charney's new
 ly released book\, These Trees Tell a Story. This program is free and all 
 are welcome. The discussion will take place in Emerson Hall\, Court Street
  in Castine. Zoom link available\; see below\n\nNoah Charney is Assistant 
 Professor of Conservation Biology at UMaine Orono. Work in the Charney Lab
  spans landscape ecology\, conservation biology\, natural history\, public
  policy\, and environmental education.  Dr. Charney is author of These Tr
 ees Tell a Story and coauthor of the award-winning Tracks and Signs of Ins
 ects and Other Invertebrates: A Guide to North American Species. \n\nHeat
 her McCargo founded Wild Seed Project in 2014 and served as Executive Dire
 ctor from 2014 to 2021. A former head plant propagator at the New England 
 Wild Flower Society’s (now Native Plant Trust) Garden in the Woods durin
 g the 1990s\, she has lectured nationally and is widely published in journ
 als and magazines.\n\nThese Trees Tell a Story\n\nCharney sees the details
  of a landscape less for their aesthetic qualities than for their contribu
 tions to the record of a place. He connects the seemingly unrelated\, show
 ing how salamanders in the Northern Hemisphere can trace their existence t
 o a fluke of plate tectonics\; how a meandering river has created a stairc
 ase along an embankment\; and the effect of deer on mice\, who in turn aff
 ect the spongy moth and oak trees\, which in turn affect the deer. The cum
 ulative effect of his book on the reader is the realization that\, as much
  as we talk about “managing” nature\, nature has been managing itself 
 for eons just fine without us. \n\nAlexandra Horowitz\, The Atlantic\, Ma
