Tree Hugging Ceremony Nov. 1st

November 1, 2016

 

This spring the largest Slippery Elm in the northeast, located in Charlotte, VT, died from Dutch Elm Disease.  Vermont Tree Goods will supervise the taking down of this historically significant tree on November 1st after a Tree Hugging Ceremony.  Its wood will be milled in our unique sawmill, kiln dried, and crafted into furniture starting next spring. Vermont Tree Goods will make a philanthropic gift to The Nature Conservancy based on how much product made from the Vermont Elm is sold.
