I gave a PowerPoint presentation for Rocktown History’s Coffee Mill Talks, (Harrisonburg-Rockingham Historical Society, Dayton, VA), which used photos I’ve taken over decades of observations to show how the forest remembers its past.
For my PowerPoint presentation at the 2025 Brocks Gap Heritage Day in Broadway, VA, near where I live, I included the most local historical photos and information that I could find.
My talk at the historic Wayne Theatre in Waynesboro, VA, tied the early industrial prosperity of the town to the massive forests that surrounded it, and identified features in the woods that are clues to what happened to those forests of the past.
