Trying to make sense of terms like “ecological forestry,” “climate-smart forestry” and “exemplary forestry” in the context of the climate and extinction crises? Wondering how these terms square with calls to protect more forest as wildlands? Join ecologists Bart Bouricius, Cheryl Joy Lipton and Bill Stubblefield for a deep dive into the effects of logging on forests. We’ll explore narratives coming from the timber industry, government agencies, and some academics that suggest our forests can only be made healthy by cutting them, and the myth that simply letting our forests develop naturally is irresponsible. We’ll cover the science of the climate, biodiversity, and hydrological impacts of timber harvesting, compare natural disturbances to those caused by logging, and give you the backstory on how timber industry myths have developed over time.
The public hearing will be held on Thursday, March 27, 2025, in-person, at the Vergennes Opera House, 120 Main Street, Vergennes, VT 05491. The Public Hearing will begin at 7:00 P.M., or immediately following a presentation at 6:00 P.M. hosted by the Vermont Department of Public Service where Vermont Gas Systems, Inc. will describe the amendment and answer questions about project details. All petition materials are available online at https://epuc.vermont.gov/ in Case #25-0055-PET.
