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.

From stories of rehabbing bats in the laundry room, to riding a whitetail buck who didn’t quite cooperate with a tagging effort, Eric’s stories will make you laugh and help you connect with the wild nature that lives within us all. Wildlife is now more abundant across the region than at any time since colonial times, thanks to Eric and biologists like him. Eric will read and sign copies of his book.

To Register: This event is free to the public. RSVPs are strongly encouraged, however walk-ins will be welcomed! With questions, contact tripley@forestsociety.org.
 
About the Author: As NHFG’s first bear biologist in the 1970s, Eric Orff began a half century career as a “forest ranger who works with animals,” his stated dream job as a 7-year-old. A respected wildlife biologist, with more than thirty-one years at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and fifteen years with the National Wildlife Federation. Known for educational programs and political action - If Only Moose Could Vote - Eric has been a literal voice in the wilderness, declaring the threat of climate change real, based on what he has seen in the woods. His trademark humor and kind heart, coupled with a solid scientific foundation make him someone people like to listen to when they want to know what’s happening in the woods, rivers, and fields of New England.
