2025 Northeastern Old Growth Conference

Wildlands and Old-Growth Forests: A Vision for the Future

Conference dates: September 17–20, 2025

In mid-September, over 200 people gathered at the beautiful Middlebury College Bread Loaf Campus for the 2025 Northeastern Old Growth Conference. This conference brought together an extraordinary community—scientists, writers, Indigenous leaders, policymakers, artists, foresters, and forest enthusiasts—who share a common passion for the wild and resilient landscapes of the Northeast. Together, we celebrated, explored, and deepened our connection to the old-growth forests and Wildlands that shape the cultural and ecological heritage of the Northeast. Most of the keynotes, plenary presentations, and breakout sessions were recorded and are available below.
