Old growth survey available AND Nature writing residency

Old-growth forest in the Adirondacks
Old Growth in the East: A Survey is now available through the website of the Old-Growth Forest Network http://www.oldgrowthforest.net/#!books/c1dyj  (scroll to bottom of page). This survey was published by Mary Byrd Davis in 2003. It is the only document of its kind, detailing the remaining old-growth forests in the eastern United States. Davis passed away in 2011 and her family donated the rights of the survey to the Network. Her family has also created a Mary Byrd Davis Nature Writing Residency in the French Pyrenees. Applications are now being accepted through March 31st. Proposals are welcomed from published writers in any area of environmental literature. See http://bordeneuveretreat.com/amics/mary-byrd-davis-residency/ for more details.
