Event Details

Long ago, huge trees filled the northwoods. Then, in the mid-1800s came the logging boom, when millions of trees were cut to help build towns and cities. What was it like to live and work in the woods? How did giant logs get from the forests to the sawmills? What happened after the forests were cut down?

The latest book for young readers from father-daughter duo Jerry Apps and Susan Apps-Bodilly explores this pivotal chapter in American history, its impacts on the Native people, westward expansion, early land restoration efforts. Timber! A Northwoods Story of Lumberjacks, Logging, and the Land will inspire readers to explore, protect, and learn about trees and forests in their own communities.

Jerry and Susan will discuss their new book and take questions from audience members. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to hear from these authors!
