THE AMERICAN TREE FARM SYSTEM IN VERMONT

Vermont Woodlands Association sponsors the American Tree Farm System in Vermont.

The American Tree Farm System is NOT about Christmas trees, although some of our members grow Christmas trees…The Tree Farm System is NOT about monoculture tree plantations or genetically engineered non-native tree programs! We are about the sustainment and promotion of our native, working forest!
