Manage episode 481452920 series 2481459
Vermont’s logging industry has changed a lot over the last several decades. But one thing remains true: We just can’t agree about how to manage our forests in the face of climate change.
This raises a lot of questions about how Vermont should manage its forests — and it has led to heated debates around the state.
