Our forests are vital to Vermont. The trees that grow among us provide habitat for wildlife, filter our water & air, and sequester carbon. They provide a forest economy that produces wood products vital in supporting our Vermont lifestyle. Whether it’s structural components in our buildings, beautifully crafted finishes, fuel to heat our homes, or paper products we use everyday, our local forest is absolutely essential. The forest is our greatest treasure, endeared in our state’s namesake.
We owe a debt of gratitude to those that sustain our forest economy: the landowners, the foresters, the loggers, the sawmill workers, and the craftspeople. They are our neighbors, our friends, and our family members. And they are the gears of the machine of this local forest economy that we value and cherish. They are who we need to keep this local forest economy. We are proud to present “Seeing the Forest for the Trees: Vermont’s Working Landscape and Forest Economy”.
Thank you to our sponsors, including our title sponsor, The A. Johnson Co LLC for helping us spread this critical message.
