My Nature Nearby encore series continues on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. on
PEGASYS public access cable TV channel 13 in Ithaca through April. See the
promo at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeGcQNWCp88 .
A link to an online excerpt from the current episode is listed below.
On February 4 and 11 you can see, if you have Ithaca cable TV, the 60-minute
show
Nature Nearby: Speaking for the Trees:
"In October, 2006, members of Finger Lakes Forest Watch met in the woods with
officials of Finger Lakes National Forest to argue for the protection of old
growth white pine trees that had been marked for logging."
I know that a lot of people reading this email cannot see the show on TV. You
can, however, see a 7-minute excerpt from this show online at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_aw46dEp-s.
At the PEGASYS awards ceremony in February 2007, this show won top honors for
both the best program of the year in the Public Affairs category and the best
public access show overall for the year. It stirred up some online controversy
over the definition of old growth and that is, in large part, what this show is
about; the back and forth between agency scientific technicians, a professional
forester and old growth expert, and local citizens who love their national
forest and want to influence timber practices to protect trees they care about.
