Forest management can have a lot of different objectives, from wood products to habitat enhancement. But what happens when your management objective is to protect the autonomy of nature? Passive management, also called passive rewilding, is the practice of standing back and letting nature direct the ebb and flow of life. Learn about the value of passive rewilding through both human and non-human lenses, grapple with the incongruity of human and forest timelines, and consider the merits of building future old forests, even if we might not live to see them ourselves.

As the third-most forested state in the lower 48, Vermont plays a critical role in forest bird conservation. Every spring, Scarlet Tanagers, Wood Thrush, and Chestnut-sided Warblers are among the birds that return to the Green Mountain state to raise young. How can we help these birds find the habitat conditions they need to nest successfully? Learn about Audubon Vermont’s efforts to promote forest stewardship that meets the needs of birds and people. We’ll explore the types of forest conditions that support high bird diversity, while keeping in mind all of the other important values we hold for our forests.

The combined threats of fragmentation, habitat loss, climate change, and biodiversity collapse require us to rethink how we conserve Vermont’s forests. How do we choose which lands to conserve, and then how do we steward them responsibly? Vermont Land Trust Forester Caitlin Cusack will share examples of how VLT is adapting its conservation strategies to address these threats and restore ecological function, support cultural heritage, and meet society’s needs for timber and non-timber forest products and services.
