The Forest Society will hold its 121st Annual Meeting on Saturday, September 24 at The Conservation Center in Concord, where Dr. Michael E. Mann will serve as the keynote speaker. Dr. Mann, distinguished scholar of climate science and author of The New Climate War, will speak on The New Climate War: With Bold Action, We Can Avert the Worst Impacts of Climate Change.

"Although scientific revolutions in how we see the world do occur, the bulk of our scientific understanding comes from the cumulative impact of numerous incremental studies that together paint an increasingly coherent picture of how nature works," Mann wrote of his work in The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines.

The afternoon program includes a business meeting, Conservationist of the Year Award, and Dr. Mann's keynote.
