News of a changing climate is causing fear that we are headed into a less livable future — perhaps even into a “catastrophic” future marked by “…human devastation and…extinction…” [“An appeal for coverage”, Greenfield Recorder letter, June 4, 2019].

In fact, if the world of Western Massachusetts is to be livable in the future, it will be in part because we will have maintained a positive, protective and productive relationship with our local forests.
