Managing Forests for Carbon and Climate Change
Saturday, September 10, 2022
1:00 – 3:00 PM
Join Ethan Tapper, the Chittenden County Forester, for a free, public walk focusing on how to take care of our forests in a changing climate.
The walk will take place at the Catamount Community Forest (CCF) in Williston, on the site of a forest management project scheduled to begin in August, 2023. The forest management project at the CCF will be part of a nation-wide collaborative effort called "Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change (ASCC)" -- a network of research and demonstration sites designed to learn more about how to manage forests in a changing climate. Learn more about ASCC here:

At the same time, the project at the CCF will showcase responsible forest management for climate resilience and adaptability, renewable resources, wildlife habitat, biodiversity and more.
Interpretive educational signage has been installed throughout the project area, and there will be numerous walks, talks, events and opportunities for the public to learn more about the project in the coming year.
Ethan Tapper is the Chittenden County Forester for the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation. Learn more about Ethan's work at https://linktr.ee/ChittendenCountyForester
To join the walk, meet at the Catamount Family Outdoor Center parking lot at 592 Governor Chittenden Road, Williston. Be prepared to walk about 1 mile on gravel trails and potentially uneven terrain, rain or shine.
