Modern research in geography, ecology, and history can tell us much about the forests that covered the Bristol Hills and western Finger Lakes before the arrival of white settlers. SUNY Geneseo geographer Stephen Tulowiecki will share what research, including his own, reveals about the forests of the region in the late 1700s. How had Native Americans already changed those forests through periodic burning? And, based on what we know about the locations of their settlements and major trails, where can we still see faint traces of Native American land stewardship?
