Public Film Premiere: Views from a Woodlot
May 8 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Join us on Thursday, May 8 at 7:00pm for the premiere screening of Views From a Woodlot, a documentary short film by Chris Hardee that profiles longtime forester Bruce Spencer, who stewarded Massachusetts’ 100,000-acre Quabbin Reservation for over 40 years. Now retired, Spencer has daily visits to the 150-acre woodlot that he stewards, guided by the same low-impact forest management philosophy that he used on the job.
Following the film, there will be a Q&A with the filmmaker Chris Hardee of High Cairn Films, And Bruce Spencer, retired Chief Forester of the Quabbin Reservation and subject of the film.
For more info about the 18-minute film, visit the High Cairn Films’ Views From a Woodlot webpage.
