A Look at the Vermont Family Forest Foundation
February 21st, 7-8 PM
David Brynn
Vermont Family Forests Foundation (VFF) was founded as a non-profit conservation organization in 1998 by David Brynn, then Addison County Forester with the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation.
VFF was the first forestry group in the world to be independently certified as well-managed through the Forest Stewardship Council.
In 2016 VFF acquired three Lincoln parcels formerly held by Lester and Monique Anderson and conserved through the Northeast Wilderness Trust. David’s talk will outline how VFF accomplishes its mission. He’ll feature the upcoming TAKING CARE OF OUR HOME GROUNDS: A Commons Conservation Congress for Vermont’s Center-West Ecoregion , discuss VFF’s role in the Isham Hollow Fiber Optics Project of Waitsfield and Champlain Valley Telecom, and answer questions.
