In the fall of 1937, researchers began a comprehensive inventory on the 15,000-acre Huntington Wildlife Forest, Newcomb, NY. What remains is a written record of what they saw and heard, season after season, how it felt, and what could be inferred from their encounters on the land. This talk will bring the philosophical dimensions of these beautiful field notes to life.

SPEAKER: Marianne Patinelli-Dubay has worked at the Huntington Wildlife Forest, a 15,000-acre research and demonstration forest owned and managed by the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse, NY for 25 years. She teaches a course in practical ethics for seniors graduating with a concentration in Forestry and Natural Resource Management as well as workshops and short courses designed for professional land managers across the country.

Marianne writes for popular and trade publications and recently published a Second Edition of Practical Ethics: A Field Guide for Resource Managers. She chairs the New York State Chapter of SAF and the National Ethics Committee. She lives with her husband in the Champlain Valley where they steward a working landscape.
