Join the Vermont Land Trust and Chittenden County Forester Ethan Tapper to visit the site of a recently completed forest management project at the Catamount Community Forest. This project involves managing a relatively young forest for old growth characteristics—creating the habitats and the qualities of an old growth forest centuries sooner than they would naturally occur—and is part of a national research project studying how to manage forests in a changing climate.

We'll explore effective ways to manage our forests for resilience and adaptability while also achieving other goals, including biodiversity conservation, forest health, renewable resources, and bird habitat. We can help our forests stay healthy and productive while continuing to provide all the benefits we depend upon.

This is the second event in a two-part series. If you came to the first one, you'll enjoy seeing the post-harvest changes. If you didn't make it, please join us this time to learn about the project! Register at https://vlt.org/events/old-growth-characteristics-at-the-catamount-community-forest/.
