4.9/5 (15337 ratings)

Description:Just outside the Village of Trumansburg, in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, is a 32-acre plot that is one of the largest remaining flat tracts of old growth forest in the area. This small but spectacular place, with its enormous trees, dense forest canopy, and never-plowed ground is a glimpse into the past. A walk through this small forested area may be the closest one can get in central New York to experiencing a landscape like the first Europeans encountered across most of the region in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This book is the story of how this little forest—known as Smith Woods—came to be, and how it persisted through the years when other old growth forests met their demise by the axe and saw. Combining perspectives from geology, ecology, history, and anthropology, the authors weave a narrative history of the many influences—human and non-human—that have shaped this patch of land over the past 20,000 years since it emerged from the last glacial period. It is the story not just of Smith Woods, but of the forests that once covered almost all of northeastern North America.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
