You may recognize Brian from the Foundation's 2023 Loving the Land Through Working Forests Conference, when he was a featured speaker.
The Foundation is excited to host Brian again, this time to explore the relationship between human needs and forest health through his experience building his family's timber frame home.
Donahue is Professor Emeritus of American Environmental Studies at Brandeis University, and a farm and forest policy consultant. He holds a PhD from the Brandeis program in History.
He co-founded and for 12 years directed Land’s Sake, a non-profit community farm in Weston, Massachusetts, and now co-owns and manages a farm in western Massachusetts.
He sits on the board of The Massachusetts Woodland Institute, and The Franklin Land Trust.
In addition to Slow Wood, Donahue is author of Reclaiming the Commons: Community Farms and Forests in a New England Town (1999), and The Great Meadow: Farmers and the Land in Colonial Concord (2004).
He is co-author of Wildlands and Woodlands, A New England Food Vision, and Beyond the Illusion of Preservation.
