George Bellerose -Portrait of a Forest: Men and Machine

Over the past 250 years, the Vermont landscape has been shaped by the farming and forest communities.
As Vermont has urbanized, we have lost a deep understanding and appreciation of the importance of our forest and farming communities.

Today's forest and forest products industry faces many challenges—forest fragmentation, global competition, invasive species, climate change, an aging workforce, loss of infrastructure.

A healthy forest is a multi-generational responsibility. To be good stewards of the land is this generation's challenge. Portrait of a Forest: Men and Machine through day-in-the-life photography and wide-ranging interviews helps us understand the people and policies that will determine if we meet that responsibility.  George is an author and photographer who lives in Weybridge, VT.   VBS will be here will books for sale and signature.
