Help the University of Vermont Locate the American Chestnut.
Researchers with the University of Vermont and the USDA Forest Service are on the hunt for American chestnut trees growing in Vermont. In an effort to begin restoration of this charismatic species to the northern reaches of its range, UVM and the Forest Service are collaborating with The American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) to conduct controlled pollinations of American chestnut in Vermont. These pollinations would cross trees growing in the cold north with hybrid/backcrossed blight resistant trees bred by TACF. The goal is eventual full restoration of this species to its historical niche within northern forests. If you know the location of any American chestnut (or suspected American chestnut) please contact Kendra Gurney, University of Vermont Graduate Research Assistant, at Kendra.Gurney@uvm.edu or at (802) 951-6771 ext 2180.

Position on Illegal ATV Use on Private and State Lands
Problems
associated with illegal all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are widespread
in Vermont and getting worse. Because unauthorized activity is taking
place on private and state woodlands, and considerable resource
and property damage is resulting, the Legislature and state agencies
should:
Make registration mandatory for all ATVs
that are being used off of one's own property. This would be the
same requirement as is currently applied to snowmobile ownership
in Vermont. Registration identification markings on ATVs should
be visible.
Enforce the current written landowner
permission requirement for ATV use.
Continue existing policies prohibiting
recreational ATV use on state lands.

ATV position.
