BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – On Friday, conservation activists in Vermont are trying to stop a logging project coming to the Green Mountain National Forest.
The project was outlined in state plans for the telephone gap area — released in December.
The Telephone Gap is between Pittsfield and Chittenden.
According to the activist group Standing Trees, under Vermont’s telephone integrated resource project, about 11,000 acres of forest will be logged by the forest service.
Friday morning, state and Indigenous leaders are gathering at the Green Mountain National Forest headquarters on Route 4 in Mendon to oppose the plan.
