Merck Forest and Farmland Center has partnered with BCCD to better understand the best ways to promote forest connectivity in the Taconic Forest Block between Rupert, Manchester, Arlington and Sandgate, Vermont.  An area in Southern Vermont that is highly susceptible to parcel subdivision.  Parcel-based research, landowner outreach, timber demonstration cuts, and partner engagement are all underway.  This important work is funded by the High Meadows Fund.
