Is logging bad for the climate?

  • Summary

  • 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.
