Fighting a Logging “Epidemic” in Vermont’s Roadless Forests

The US Forest Service is exploiting a loophole in the Roadless Rule to back misguided management plans, say activists.

Will wrote in Earth Island Journal about protecting the Green Mountain National Forest against logging and about restoring wild, public lands in New England.

“There’s really kind of an epidemic of roadless logging in both New Hampshire and Vermont, in the White Mountain and Green Mountain National Forests,” says Zack Porter of Standing Trees. “Many thousands of acres at this point have been targeted.

end talk – i’m so bored with the USA

Read the latest issue of end talk now: I’M SO BORED WITH THE USA. It is full!

We include another roundup of the current climate situation, an essay by Ben on the attempt to create a European Super League, a partial reprint of Will’s essay on fascism, a shout-out to a couple non-controversial Substacks, and several music and reading recommendations, including a recent interview w/ Arundhati Roy & a new music video from our friend Anguid.”

climate change and more in the hudson valley

I love the Hudson Valley, NY. Always have, always will. It is where I come from, and I am deeply connected to it.

The Hudson Valley, like the rest the country and the world, is already experiencing the effects of climate change. Read about the experiences of Hudson Valley farmers in The River.

For more on the Hudson Valley, listen to our conversation on end talk with fellow Hudson Valley native and writer Rob Rubsam, covering the region’s connection to NYC, the role of gentrification here especially during COVID, and more.

fertile edges

“More than energy conservation and new technologies, there needs to be a radical shift in our worldview, from unchecked consumption of resources to Earth Stewardship. This requires a massive cut in carbon emission, a relocalisation of our food supply and economy, and most critically of all, an engagement and mobilisation of the whole population in the realities of living in an interdependent planetary system with finite resources.”
