Reading the Forested Landscape Workshop
This five day workshop, based out of Medomak Family Camp in Washington Maine,
will immerse participants in the process of reading the landscape as a means to forge
a stronger connection to place. A variety of forest, wetland, and mountain communities will be explored in mid-coast Maine including the granite domes of Acadia National
Park. During this ecology workshop, within each community Tom will lead discussions in
geologic history, interpret cultural and disturbance histories from the evidence at hand,
examine plant adaptations, and discuss evolutionary ecology.
