Forest Dialogues Lecture Series

Enjoy a special conversation with Patricia Shippee and Peter Cable regarding the influence and connection of artists and artistic thought on the land conservation efforts in Old Lyme, CT, which has a long and rich history as one of the nation’s most famous art colonies. Shippee brings her enthusiasm for arts preservation, and Cable’s special interests include recognizing the historical, scenic, and natural features of this region, while mitigating the effects of climate change.

Please note: The Forest Dialogue Lecture Series is intended to take place outdoors. In the event of rain, and out of an abundance of caution with the COVID-19 crisis, all outdoor lectures will instead take place virtually on Zoom during the same planned date and time. All registered attendees for the outdoor program will automatically receive a Zoom invitation.

Please register using this form. Space is limited.
