The Northern Forest Alliance and a broad team of partners, including the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation and the University of Vermont, have been working together for a year to develop the Vermont Town Forest Project. The Vermont Town Forest Project is working to advance forest stewardship and conservation in Vermont through partnerships with communities to more deeply engage Vermonters with their town forests. The project is helping Vermont’s towns develop new cultural and educational programs in their town forests, improve stewardship of town forests, and in some cases purchase a new town forest.
