The Story of Vermont
In this second edition of their classic text, Klyza and Trombulak use the lens of interconnectedness to examine the geological, ecological, and cultural forces that came together to produce contemporary Vermont. They assess the changing landscape and its inhabitants from its pre-human evolution up to the present, with special focus on forests, open terrestrial habitats, and the aquatic environment.

Vermont's Use Value Appraisal Property Tax Program
S2Vermonts Use Value Appraisal (UVA) property tax program was designed to slow the rate of development of rural land, encourage prediction from agricultural and forest lands, and conserve and preserve a working rural landscape by making taxation of underdeveloped land more equitable. In 1987, more than 669,000 acres were enrolled in the UVA Forest Land Program, 18 percent of the potentially eligible forest land. Forest inventory statistics were produced for these lands using data collected in the fourth forest survey of Vermont. UVA forest land comprises slightly more than a billion cubic feet of growing stock, including 2.2 million board feet of sawtimber. Forest inventory data indicate that timberland in the UVA program mirrors Vermont timberland in general. It does not appear that a disproportionate amount of poor sites or good sites are enrolled. Nor does the quantity or quality of the timber appear to be disproportionately representative. The projected net growth on UVA timberland could supply almost half the annual removals in the State.
