Plant Trees In Vermont

Why Plant in Vermont?

Hotter summers and heavier rainfall in Vermont are impacting local economies (including maple syrup production) and threatening the environment.  

• The average annual temperature has increased by 1.3° fahrenheit since 1960; an astounding 45% of this change is since 1990. 
• Extended summer dry spells are placing more stress on important tree species such as the sugar maple and red spruce, which have already experienced periods of decline.
