I’m writing to express my dismay at the misinformation again being spread about the Telephone Gap timber project. Timber harvesting on the Green Mountain National Forest is good for Vermont and the environment.
As one of the owners of a lumber mill in Bristol, I certainly have an interest in the harvest and the overall principles at stake. I also have a daughter, for whom I care deeply, and wish for her future a livable world.
I would like to add my perspective to recent letters published in the Addison Independent that disparages timber harvesting in Vermont, claiming it negatively affects climate change.
