This document outlines a landscape-based forest stewardship planning methodology developed through a collaborative project involving the Vermont Division of Forests and four regional planning commissions. The plan emphasizes increasing the scale and pace of sustainable management of private forest lands in Vermont, with the overarching goal of preserving forests. Key focus areas include utilizing GIS-based analysis, engaging diverse stakeholders, and developing replicable strategies and tools for regions, municipalities, and landowners. The initiative aims to support the economic, ecological, recreational, scenic, and cultural values of forests while addressing threats such as climate change, invasive species, and fragmentation.
