The 2025 Cottrell-Baldwin Environmental Lecture Series will feature 4 New England authors writing on themes of wildlife and forests from their own unique personal histories and experiences as wildlife biologists, naturalists and foresters.

Former Bronx Zoo zoologist, award-winning writer, photographer and talented naturalist, Ted Levin, spent the years 2020-’21 during the pandemic rediscovering his home valley while devoted to walking and observing nature, watching seasons pass, day by day. His new book chronicles the rediscovery of his Thetford, VT hillside where Ted lived and recounts his daily joys of observing home ground as Levin was forced by Covid to stay home. In the end, he sold his home and moved to Hurricane Hill in Hartford, Vermont.
