If you own forest land, be a good steward. Call your county forester to see how woodlands of any size can be nurtured to provide wildlife habitat and recreation opportunities. Get out and recreate in the woods. Get close to nature, trees, and Vermont's rural landscape to deepen your understanding and appreciation of Vermont's forests. When landscaping around your house, plan for native trees that fit in with the surroundings.
Plant trees away from roads and drives, septic tanks, and utility lines.
Use care when plowing snow, mowing, and weeding near trees. If you're building a house, plan for your landscape trees before you begin your site work. Clear as few as possible, and protect the remaining trees from damage during construction. Support deer and moose hunting in Vermont. Keeping our wildlife in balance with their forest habitat benefits them and the trees they depend upon for food.
