The Green Mountain National Forest staff is seeking public comments, over the next month, on its preliminary Environmental Assessment for the Dorset Peru Integrated Resource Project.
The project is an attempt to improve habitat diversity and forest health, restore eroded areas and improve public access opportunities.
It would also restore stream function by adding large woody debris and replacing culvert – and preserve heritage resources such as an old mill, furnace and kiln sites.
More than 2,000 acres of timber harvesting is proposed to support the local economy, enhance forest health and create more diverse wildlife habitat.
