Northern Woodlands Magazine

Northern Woodlands, a quarterly magazine, celebrates northeastern forests and the people who care for them. A fun read with a serious purpose, it’s published by the Center for Northern Woodlands Education, an educational nonprofit located in Lyme, New Hampshire. Its mission: to advance culture of forest stewardship in the Northeast and to increase understanding of and appreciation for the natural wonders, economic productivity, and ecological integrity of the region’s forests. We are pleased to be a long-time partner of Northern Woodlands and grateful that we can offer this fabulous magazine to our members, with our compliments.

Vermont Woodlands Association members in good standing receive this quarterly publication as our thank you!
