Dovetail Associate Mike Snyder Leads Writing for the Stewardship Guide for Vermont Forest Landowners

In writing the guide, Mike kept coming back to a simple idea: most Vermont forests are cared for by people making thoughtful, and sometimes difficult, decisions over time. The guide aims to meet landowners where they are and help translate their values into action, providing a clear and credible resource for forest stewardship.

The guide provides practical information and resources to help Vermont forest landowners understand, manage, and care for their forests, with topics ranging from forest health and wildlife to recreation and stewardship.

This resource was developed as part of a broader grant-funded initiative to reach and support new forest landowners across Vermont. The Forest Landowner Outreach Project is a partnership between the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation (FPR), Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, Vermont Woodlands Association (VWA), Vermont Coverts: Woodlands for Wildlife, Vermont Audubon and others and is made possible with funding from the U.S. Forest Service, State and Private Forestry, Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, The Daybreak Fund at the Vermont Community Foundation, and the Adelard A. and Valeda Lea Roy Foundation.
