June Highlight:

Bennington County Sustainable Forest Consortium

The Bennington County Sustainable Forest Consortium (BCSFC), new in 2007, is a collaborative between forest landowners, consulting foresters, loggers, the Bennington County Conservation District (BCCD), and the Bennington County Forester’s office (where forester Nate Fice resides). The consortium hopes to promote dialogue and learning between forest landowners, resources professionals, and the general public, and encourage landowners to think of their forests in a sustainable manner.

For more information on BCSFC or to sign up for workshops, contact Shelly Stiles, Bennington County Conservation District, at 802-442-2275 or shelly.stiles@bccd.sover.net.

For forestry related assistance, contact Nate Fice, Bennington County Forester, at 802-375-1217 or Nate.Fice@state.vt.us.
