Though the pandemic has caused us to temporarily close the Bristol office of Vermont Family Forests, our work continues full steam. We're working with forest landowners to create and update their forest conservation plans, collaborating in efforts to encourage wild forest conservation in Vermont, and continuing restoration of the buildings on VFF's Anderson lands. We're also continuing our EATING THE FOREST WITH ALI video series--you'll find the latest two installments below.
Enjoy, be well, and may the Forest be with you!
