Old Growth Forests dominated the New England landscape for thousands of years, prior to European settlement. Today, they occupy less than one percent of the region. Learn what old growth forests are, why they are valuable, and how we can get more old forests back on the landscape through a range of approaches, from passive Wildlands conservation to light management.  

Ecologist Liz Thompson and VLT forester David McMath will share stories on old growth protection and management from the Vermont landscape and will answer your questions.

For those interested, forester continuing education credits (1.0 CFE credit) will be available through the Society of American Foresters.
