REWILDING EARTH • May 30, 2023
A no-holds-barred narrative of the failure of conservation in northern New England’s forests envisions a wilder, more equitable, lower-carbon future for forest-dependent communities. Author Jamie Sayen approaches the story of northern New England’s undeveloped forests from the viewpoints of the previously unheard: the forest and the nonhuman species it sustains, the First Peoples, and, in more recent times, the disenfranchised human voices of the forest, including loggers, mill workers, and citizens who, like Henry David Thoreau, wish to speak a kind word for nature. The book will be published by Yale University Press on January 16, 2024.
