Spend the morning learning how forests absorb and release carbon dioxide, and why forests matter to the global cycling of carbon, and therefore to changing climate. We will hike through parts of Floracliff’s mature forest as well as early successional post-agricultural forest, as we think about the implications of forest management on forest carbon.
