Wisconsin DNR MADISON — The Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at University of Wisconsin-Madison will host a virtual premiere of the national TV program, America's Forests with Chuck Leavell, featuring the acclaimed host's travels to Wisconsin in the series' latest episodes. This online gathering, scheduled from 6:30-7:30 p.m. today, will bring togeth- er thought leaders to engage in conversation on the criti- cal importance and value of well-managed public and private forest lands in Wisconsin. "Wisconsin's 17 million forested acres are a part of a rich history in our great state," Wisconsin Depart- ment of Natural Resources Secretary Preston Cole said. "Our forests are part of our culture and economy and without them, Wisconsin would not be what it is today. The continued sustainable management of our forests here and nationwide pro- vides solutions for the future." As host of the television series, Leavell serves as the on-camera guide, traveling across the country to inter- view people passionate about the gifts received from our woods and exploring creative solutions to com- plex problems impacting this important natural resource. Leavell is best known as the keyboardist and musical director for The Rolling Stones, but he is also an edu- cated and enthusiastic forestry advocate, conserva- tionist and woodland owner. "The search for solutions to the problems of sustain- able growth, climate change and energy conservation is increasingly inspiring thought leaders to look at one of America's finest resources — our forests," Leavell said. "Whether for building or for recreation, our forests are good for the economy and for the spirit." Leavell explores the forests of Wisconsin, fitting- ly, on a Harley Davidson, in this two-part special. Part one finds Leavell exploring Wisconsin's Northwoods. Viewers will learn about managing forests for ruffed grouse, the sustainable forestry practices on the Menominee Tribal forests and much more. In part two, Leavell heads to Milwaukee and Madison to experience the urban wood movement, go behind the scenes at the USDA For- est Products Laboratory and explore the Baraboo Hills' biodiversity. Leavell wraps up his Wisconsin adven- tures at a Log-A-Load for Kids event in the Suamico School Forest, where hun- dreds of elementary stu- dents from local schools got to try their hands at being foresters for the day. During the virtual pre- miere event today, Leavell will be joined by Heather Berklund, DNR chief state forester; Tony Ferguson, U.S. Department of Agricul- ture Forest Service director of the forest products labo- ratory; Buddy Huffaker, Aldo Leopold Foundation executive director; Adena Rissman, associate profes- sor at the University of Wis- consin-Madison Depart- ment of Forest and Wildlife Ecology, and Henry Schienebeck, Great Lakes Timber Professionals Asso- ciation executive director. The panel will be moderated by James Edward Mills, community partnership liaison at the UW-Madison Nelson Institute for Envi- ronmental Studies. Registration for the virtu- al premiere and screening of the episodes is available online at go.wisc.edu/tales- filmseries2020. Links to attend the virtual premiere event and to view the episodes in advance will be emailed to all who register. "A wide range of partners support the sustainable management of Wisconsin's 17 million acres of forests," Berklund said. "These two episodes of the show high- light several shining exam- ples of this collaborative work to ensure that Wiscon- sin forests provide ecologi- cal, social, cultural and eco- nomic benefits for today's citizens as well as for future generations."
