The Friends of the Upton State Forest are excited to partner with Upton Open Space Committee, Upton Cultural Council and Metacomet Land Trust to bring this daylong workshop to Upton. Robert Thorson is a noted author, geologist, and advocate for preservation of historic landscapes. He has written several books about stonewalls and landforms of New England. Since publishing his first book, he has given over 500 talks at venues from small historical societies to the NASA Engineering Colloquium in Washington, DC. He is currently a professor at the University of Connecticut, as well as writing for several publications.
The day will begin with a presentation at the Upton VFW at 10 AM, followed by a question and answer period. There will be an opportunity to purchase Thorson’s books and have them signed following the AM program. Bring a brown bag lunch and join us for the afternoon field trip to Peppercorn Hill.
