Announce a presentation by

Goodwin Forest Conservation Education Center

"James L. Goodwin and the Conservation Education Center:
100 Years of Forest History and Counting"

Tuesday, January 15, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
Chaplin Senior Center
132 Chaplin Street, Chaplin CT

The Goodwin Forest Conservation Education Center lies within the 2,000-acre Goodwin State Forest in Chaplin and Hampton. For 50 years (1914-1964) the Center and Forest belonged to James Lippincott Goodwin, a scion of one of Hartford's oldest leading families and one of Connecticut first professional foresters. Goodwin practiced pioneering, state-of-the-art forest management on what he called "Pine Acres Farm" for 5 decades before gifting the entire property to the people of Connecticut.

Today, the Conservation Education Center provides forestry, wildlife and general conservation education to youth and adults. Demonstration of good conservation practices, from backyard wildlife gardens to the 2,000-acre forest, is the foundation of the educational program.

Join Goodwin Center Forester Steve Broderick as he describes the rich historic background of the remarkable Goodwin family and James L. Goodwin. Using historic photos dating back 100 years, he will describe the history of forestry practices there, including tree planting, fire fighting, woods road building, hurricane salvage and more. He'll finish by touching on what goes on at Goodwin today, and the key issues in forestry and wildlife the Center seeks to address.
