SUMMARY:Brattleboro Conservation Commission
DESCRIPTION:Meeting and panel discussion\nin the Main Reading Room\n\nThis panel discussion is part of a public engagement process hosted by the Brattleboro Conservation Commission after a recent timber harvest at the Brattleboro’s Watershed Forest: Pleasant Valley Reservoir (PVR). It started with an excellent tour by Dan Healey\, the consulting forester for PVR’s Forest Management Plan\, which went into detail discussing the silvicultural treatments used in the most recent harvest and the goals they were meant to fulfill.\n\nHere\, with a panel consisting of consulting foresters\, Dan Healey and Andrew Morrison\, and consulting ecologist Daniel Dubie\, we zoom out to a broader view of forestry and forest ecology for a discussion of the landscape-scale benefits of – and threats to – our regional forests\, and how forestry can maximize those benefits and address those threats\, and (to a lesser degree) how management of PVR fits into that.

SUMMARY:Author Talk - Susan Avery on Addicted

What you will read therein was life happening in real time\, family members struggling\, often just to survive.”\n \nChapter One\, excerpt. “The tail of the heroin dragon is uncontrollable. Visualize a gnarled\, spiked weapon\, swiftly and viciously impaling the vulnerable and afflicted while taking down families in it’s path of destruction.

SUMMARY:Our Cars\, Our Bodies\, Our Earth
DESCRIPTION:Get myself a car\, I feel power as I fly\, Whoa now\, I’m really in control.\nIt all looks fine to the naked eye\, but it don’t really happen that way at all.. ~ The Who \nIn Vermont\, our cars appear to many of us as natural as our mountains\, moose and fall colors. However\, with climate change bearing down on our state\, carbon emissions are now seen by concerned Vermonters as the prime issue with our auto-centric culture. But could we be missing something even bigger? \nThis workshop probes the fascinatingly elusive psychology of the automobile and its pervasive influence on our vision of the world and place in it. We’ll focus on how the collective super-sizing of our bodies in cars (power\, weight\, speed\, size\, noise etc.) has profoundly transformed the integrity of our sacred relations to both the human and more-than-human worlds. Furthermore\, we will explore how this immense power is perhaps undermining our response to the most significant crisis we have ever faced – climate change. \nMost importantly\, we’ll embark on a world tour of remarkable efforts that are challenging automobilism – the unbridled and indiscriminate use of motor vehicles. We will consider how Vermont can greatly benefit from this burst of innovation (planning\, micromobility\, technology\, psychology and more) that is inspiring human-scale living\, a reconsideration of our place in the world and helping us to move beyond a 1950’s model of automobility and transportation consumerism. \nBio\nDave Cohen  is an integrative psychotherapist in Brattleboro specializing in ecopsychology. In 2016\,  Dave founded VBike\, a Vermont advocacy group dedicated to promoting new bike design and technologies for everyday mobility and providing free e-bike and e-cargo bike consultations to all Vermonters. His work is featured on numerous podcasts and highlighted in the internationally-screened cargo bike documentary Motherload. In 1994\, Dave founded Pedal Express in Berkeley\, CA\, a US pioneering bicycle delivery service utilizing a cargo bikes fleet.

SUMMARY:Ann McCloskey Book Launch of These Dreams of You
DESCRIPTION:In These Dreams of You\, Ann McCloskey tells her story of lovingly raising a remarkable daughter who developed mental illness and died young. McCloskey’s memoir follows her pivot from years of striving to save her anorectic daughter to ultimately supporting her as she lived out her life in the manner she chose as an adult. Written from the heart\, McCloskey’s personal narrative conveys hope and resilience as she prevails through her grief with no regrets about her parenting. \nThese Dreams of You is a moving story that has been called sad and devastating but also full of truth and love and grace. While McCloskey’s story offers an unvarnished account of her challenges in raising her extraordinary daughter\, it also conveys the depth of love she felt for her. Interspersed throughout the narrative are several lyrical letters written by mother to daughter since the daughter’s death. \nMcCloskey will read from her book and talk about the rewards and challenges in writing an honest and unflinching story laden with emotional content. McCloskey’s discussion of her memoir writing process will inform those who are interested in better understanding the genre and inspire those who may want to write their own stories. \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing
