    A shrinking market for low-grade wood threatens Vermont’s forests

    The closure of Finch Paper's pulping operations in Vermont eliminates a key market for low-grade wood, threatening forest management and economic viability. Without buyers for wood generated by forest management, logging jobs and landowner options decline, risking long-term forest health and benefits like biodiversity and carbon storage.

    Phil Scott administration pushes through wetlands changes, despite lawmakers’ objections

    The Phil Scott administration implemented wetlands rule changes to facilitate housing development near wetlands, reducing buffer zones from 50 to 25 feet in designated areas. Lawmakers rejected the initial proposals, but the administration revised the rules to avoid litigation, retaining the buffer zone reduction while removing provisions for building in unmapped wetlands. Environmental organizations, including the Vermont Natural Resources Council, agreed not to sue after the changes were scaled back.
