Town Forest Resource Page

The primary objective of this project was to identify, research, and
document six cases of town forests highly utilized by communities for diverse
community benefits in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine to serve as examples for others.  
These “model”case studies, based on interviews of community leaders, highlight each forest’s
biophysical and cultural characteristics, management objectives, institutional arrangements,
sources of funding, and outreach events.  

Please explore this site to see what is has been happening in northern New England's town forests!
