Green Mountains
Vermont really is the Green Mountain state, it now has more forest and trees then it did in the late 1800s when only 20 to 30% of the land was covered with trees. Just in the last 15 years Vermont forests have grown 1.5% to now cover almost 78% of the state. This increase has come while the amount of timber harvested yearly has almost doubled since 1948.
Vermont has manged to grow and prosper while working hard to keep and expand its beauty and uniqueness. Travelers will find Vermont both friendly and awe inspiring that so much green can exist after more then 300 years of development.
