The Vermont Forest Products Association has produced an illuminating video, “Seeing the Forest for the Trees.”
The industry, especially loggers, get a bad rap for somehow ‘taking away’ from nature. The video shows that prudent management actually helps sustain Vermont’s most prolific natural resource: trees.
According to a statement published on YouTube with the video:
“Our forests are vital to Vermont.
“The trees that grow among us provide habitat for wildlife, filter our water & air, and sequester carbon. They provide a forest economy that produces wood products vital in supporting our Vermont lifestyle. Whether it’s structural components in our buildings, beautifully crafted finishes, fuel to heat our homes, or paper products we use everyday, our local forest is absolutely essential. The forest is our greatest treasure, endeared in our state’s namesake.
“We owe a debt of gratitude to those that sustain our forest economy: the landowners, the foresters, the loggers, the sawmill workers, and the craftspeople. They are our neighbors, our friends, and our family members. And they are the gears of the machine of this local forest economy that we value and cherish.
“They are who we need to keep this local forest economy.”

What’s with all the branches from ALL trees, large and small, ‘wilting’ like spahgetti beneath their own weight this past year?
I hear aluminum causes a dysfunction in the tree’s ability to product cellolose… aluminum happens to be a main ingredient (along with strontium, barium and sulfur) in the ‘solar dimming’ project ongoing in our Vermont skies since 2016, as one of the particulates raining down on us by man’s plan… and going about the way you would expect such hubris to go: killing flora and fauna alike, and making us think the flu is caused by a virus. Think again.
Yes… trees are vital for carbon sequestriazation – the older and bigger, the more so. Most of our big old trees are now cut down to make way for line of site delivery of 5G, and ever growing FOREST of delivery lines and wires…and cell towers.
But lets just put our heads in the sand and virtue signal our way into oblivion…tsunami approaching…
Thank God I know I am but a sojourner here…and have better places to be… when the tsunami clears…
