Before you go...
Have you contacted Vermont's Congressional delegation yet? Please ask them to help cancel the Telephone Gap project and to permanently protect the Green Mountain National Forest from logging. Let them know that the Telephone Gap logging project will:
Release 254,556 metric tonnes of carbon from logging operations based on the Forest Service’s own calculations. This equates to 59,377 gas powered vehicles driven for a year.
Cut 817 acres rare old-growth forest.
Log 1,800 acres of the 16,000-acre Pittenden Inventoried Roadless Area near Rochester, VT, one of the largest blocks of unprotected wild forest in the whole state of Vermont.
