LANCASTER — U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster convened nine specialists from both the public and private sectors to participate in a climate change forum focused on forestry and outdoor recreation. The panel moderator was Rob Werner, N.H. state director of the League of Conservation Voters.

Kuster, who grew up in Hopkinton, jumpstarted the conversation by noting her father had invested in the Wildcat Ski Area, which operates on the White Mountain National Forest in Pinkham Notch. Her love of the North Country and appreciation of skiing, hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreational activities began in her youth.
