Hey my state is pretty fucked, but believe me I try. I grew up in Pennsylvania but my parents and generations before them are from Massachusetts/Vermont/New York—my relatives live about 20min from the Vermont border— so I am very familiar with the region and there’s no need to discriminate against me as a non-resident. I am pretty concerned about the Earth as a whole, and what we can do to protect what is left. I receive emails from Environment America who are a nationwide advocacy group. I thought I could bring light to this impending project to locals before it happens. With big projects such as this, once it’s approved by the governing bodies and too late to speak out, everyone says “what could we have done to stop it?” It’s helpful to know this is happening. You can certainly decide for yourself whether or not you support it. Note that the proposed plan is not manifesting from individuals in the local Vermont forestry sector, it’s a federal government plan, and this is not logging as you’re used to, it’s clear-cutting and creating a road/tele services through the clear cut area. Once that starts, it won’t stop. You are misunderstanding “uninterrupted” and thinking I believe it is “old growth”— I know that Vermont was logged AF in centuries ago and that it’s not untouched and pristine. At the moment the Green Mountains are one of the largest patches of continuous unfragmented forest and this is in fact something that should be protected from large scale projects such as this.
