Vermont is famous for its huge and beautifully green natural areas, as almost 80 percent of the state is covered with forests. VT forestry is very important to preserving these natural beauties and at the same time supporting the economy sustainably. Workers in this sector carry out their work with the future in mind so that even with harvesting the trees, the forest does not lose its ability to survive over a long period.

Besides getting wood, Vermont forestry is more about allowing different kinds of animals to live there and also protecting the water that comes from the forest. When they decide how many and what kinds of trees can be grown in a certain area, the foresters can also solve the problems of forest fires and invasive pests. Another very important thing is carbon sequestration because these big forests are huge in absorbing carbon, which really helps the global climate goals.

Another very important part of VT forestry is the interaction with the community. Since most of the land belongs to private individuals, the campaigns to educate participants have been very instrumental in getting landowners to realize the conservation/restoration best practices/long-term. This model of working together has contributed greatly keeping the natural appearance of the region while at the same time producing local products like maple syrup and high-quality wood manufacturing. In the end, the rational use of these natural resources is still very important for the protection of the environment and support of rural economic growth all over the state.
