Lyndonville, VT
Tickets: Free admission
Green Mountain Books and Prints welcomes Vermont forester and author Ethan Tapper to York Street Meeting House to discuss his new book, The Forest Year: Finding Hope in a World Worth Saving.
What can a year spent paying attention to one forest reveal? Following flowers, birds, and the changing life of the woods, Tapper explores biodiversity, stewardship, and what it means to be rooted in a place. His lyrical storytelling draws on the practical work of tending a forest, making ecological ideas approachable while asking how we care for the land—and one another—in a changing world.
Tapper’s first book, How to Love a Forest: The Bittersweet Work of Tending a Changing World, won the 2025 New England Book Award for nonfiction. He lives and works at Bear Island, his 175-acre working forest, homestead, orchard, and sugarbush in Vermont. That everyday experience of caring for a place is at the heart of his new book.
After his talk, Tapper will sign copies for those who would like to purchase a book, and refreshments will be served.
