Over the next two years, the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps will be restoring the second of their two "Monitor Barns"-- beautiful and historic structures located at their campus on Route 2 in Richmond. To do so, they have partnered with Building Heritage of Huntington, Vermont to turn the restoration into a community timber framing project. VYCC has worked with a private landowner and with Ethan Tapper, the Chittenden County Forester, to source the timbers needed for the project locally, including from a forest management project managed by Ethan at the Westford Town Lands.

In this in-person presentation on the VYCC campus, Ethan will discuss how forests work, what responsible forest management looks like, and how forest management can be a source of beautiful, renewable resources, harvested while protecting and enriching forests.

The presentation will take place at 7:00 PM in the haymow at VYCC's West Monitor Barn, located at 1949 East Main Street (US Route 2), Richmond. Learn more about the restoration of the East Monitor Barn here: https://eastmonitorbarn.org/
