Monitoring: Forest

The Vermont Monitoring Cooperative has been collaborating with the US Forest Service, Green Mountain National Forest, and the State of Vermont Department of Forest, Parks, and Recreation since its inception. We maintain a staff presence and an ongoing archival resources for the multitude of data collected by these, and other, organizations throughout the state, on Vermont's forest health.
