Forests in the Green Mountain State: A Half-Century of Change

Abstract

Forests provide wood and other forest products, watershed protection, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, a setting for recreation, and much more. They have played a major role in the history and culture of the State of Vermont. Highlighted here are some of the significant trends that have occurred in Vermont?s forests over the last half-century. The data in this publication are summarized from reports published by the USDA Forest Service, which periodically inventories the forest resources of the 50 states. In 1997, the USDA Forest Service in cooperation with the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation completed the fifth statewide inventory of that State?s forests.
