The many ways of heating with wood – Part 2 The first part of this series looked at Vermont’s goal of doubling the amount of people who heat with some form of wood by 2035 to decrease the state’s reliance on heating with fossil fuels. It also covered some of the reasons why cutting wood and proper forestry management can help sequester carbon and reduce climate change. The Mad River Valley Planning District partnered with the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission to host a digital meeting on December 9 with Emma Hanson, Fayston, who is the wood energy coordinator for the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation.
