Beginning in early December, Audubon Vermont will carry out an exciting forest improvement project at the Green Mountain Audubon Center (GMAC) in Huntington. With help from Vermont Youth Conservation Corps forestry crews, we will harvest 1.8 acres of mostly White Pine trees to encourage young forest to grow up.  We want to create more young forest at the Audubon Center because it will attract and support a variety of bird species and other wildlife that rely on this habitat to thrive. One of Audubon’s Conservation Biologists will lead a guided walk to the harvest site before the cut happens, sharing insights about forest health, habitat diversity, and what to expect as the new forest takes shape. Participants will have plenty of time for questions and will be encouraged to visit the site again after the harvest to witness the transformation firsthand. 

We’ll be sharing regular updates, photos, and stories about the project on Instagram and Facebook, so be sure to follow along as the forest regenerates. 

Accessibility Information: This work is taking place along our White Pine Trail. This trail has a steep section with an uneven staircase. Trail length is about .1 miles. We recommend wearing hiking boots or sturdy shoes to this event.

This workshop is free, donations to support our work are always welcome.
