The Trees in our Forests

In Vermont, trees and forests frame our lives. Trees provide shade, beauty, wildlife habitat, and climate mitigation — among other benefits — and when combined into forests form natural communities of astonishing complexity and importance. Join Ethan Tapper, the Chittenden County Forester, for a walk through the UVM Horticultural Farm and a discussion of the role that trees play in our lives and in the health of our planet.
