Standing Trees Vermont: Proforestation - A Simple Solution to an Urgent Problem 02/24/2021

What is Proforestation? How does it compare to what is happening on Vermont's federal and state public lands?

For years we have listened to the forest industry speak about sustainable forest management, afforestation and reforestation, and various other terms - all of which ultimately involve logging.

But a new word and a new concept - Proforestation - is gaining traction and deserves our support. Learn about it in this presentation from a proforestation pro! Bill Moomaw is part of a team who is working to change the narrative about forests and their capacity to sequester and store carbon, produce high quality water, provide diverse habitats that serve a full range of species from mushrooms to spring salamanders, and retain drought and flood resilience in a rapidly changing climate.

William Moomaw is Emeritus Professor of International Environmental Policy, Center for International Environment and Resource Policy, Fletcher, Tufts University. He was a lead author of five Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports. He currently serves as co-director of the Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts, which he co-founded, and he is also a Visiting Scientist at Woodwell Climate Center. He received his B.A. degree in chemistry from Williams College and Ph.D. in physical chemistry from MIT.

Standing Trees Vermont: Public Screening of Burned - Q&A with the Filmmakers 01/28/2021

Renewable energy is a key to addressing climate change, but there is a dirty secret hiding in plain sight! The acclaimed documentary “BURNED – Are Trees the New Coal?” explains how logging forests and burning trees is supported and subsidized as “clean,” “carbon neutral” and “renewable” even as it is leading to deforestation, polluting our air and making climate change worse!

Standing Trees Vermont, a new coalition working to protect, preserve and restore forests on our state and federal lands, presents this online event with the support of our many allies in the region. Coalition members as well as filmmakers Lisa Merton and Chris Hardee respond to questions in this portion of the event.

About the film “BURNED - Are Trees the New Coal?”: Through interviews with activists, experts, and citizens, along with verité-style footage shot across the U.S. and in Europe, BURNED interweaves the science of climate change, energy-policy disputes, the biomass industry practices, forest ecology, the conflict over jobs, and the actions of activists and citizens who are working to protect their health and that of their communities, the forest, and our climate.
