New England's Roadside Ecology with Tom Wessels

Terrestrial ecologist Tom Wessels, professor emeritus at Antioch University New England, introduces his latest book, "New England's Roadside Ecology", which features guided walks at 30 unique natural sites across all six New England states.

In the film, Tom leads us on one of the book's intriguing hikes, in the Kilburn Pond area of New Hampshire's Pisgah State Park, discussing a number of ecological features. There's much to be learned and seen here, including some old-growth forest, spiral tree growth, effects of the 1938 hurricane, and an unusual mystery surprise in the woods.
