On Saturday, July 20, the Catskill Center will host Michael Kudish for an original presentation on Catskill forest history as part of the Catskill Center's Member Program Series.

Burn Index: A new way of looking at Catskills land use history, will be presented by Mr. Kudish from 7:00 to 8:30 PM at the Catskill Center in Arkville.

This new and unique analysis by Mr. Kudish  examines the Catskills locations where Native Americans and Europeans burned and farmed and where they did not. Participants will be among the first to see Michael’s hand-drawn map identifying specific locations of this human activity over the centuries.

Please join us for this special Member Program Series presentation.
