The Nature Conservancy is right on line.  They are preserving the resource with
just a little bit of forest management to benefit the whole.  I really like
this group and they have a touch of ecosystem management blended with multiple
use.

See "The Environmentalist" at http://forestry.miningco.com

They ain't just doing this in Vermont...They are doing this all over the US...a
good organization... a lot of land given back to something other than timber
production.
