ALT Title slide for a presentation called "Old-Growth Forests of New Hampshire: Biodiversity Powerhouses", presented by David Govatski at the Saving Special Places Conference on April 6, 2024. The background image shows a shaded woods scene, with a large fallen log surrounded by young hemlock trees and several big trees. Behind the large trees is a sunny area of deciduous trees with leaves in fall shades of yellow, orange and red.
