Vermont Coverts Cooperator Training Program An intensive 3-day seminar on forest and wildlife management is held each spring and fall for landowners and interested parties. The program involves classroom and field studies taught by a variety of professionals. The seminar is free to participants and includes food, lodging and materials. The Vermont Coverts Cooperator Training Program is an opportunity to learn more about forest management and wildlife habitat/management. Topics covered include forest ecology, silviculture, responding to natural disturbances, Vermont wildlife species and their habitat requirements, and an introduction to forest and wildlife policy issues. The program includes indoor and outdoor presentations led by a variety of private and state natural resource professionals (foresters and wildlife biologists). These days and evenings are both educational and fun as participants learn a lot from the professionals and from each other, the 20 class participants from around the state. A $100 fee (refundable at completion of the program) is required to secure a space.

The 2013 fall workshop will be held September 6-8 at Kehoe Conservation Camp in Castleton, VT.
