A' la Carte
Dave Mance III
When you work in the publishing business your work life is dictated by deadlines - the proverbial sword of Damocles hanging over your head.

 NORTHERN WOODLANDS NEWS
Hats off to Stephen Long and Virginia Barlow!
Northern Woodlands co-founders, Steve Long and Ginny Barlow, were selected to receive the Vermont Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence. A presentation will take place in the House Chamber in Montpelier on June 30. The Vermont Governor's Awards were established in 1993 to recognize the actions taken by Vermonters to conserve and protect natural resources, prevent pollution, and promote environmental sustainability. Long and Barlow won in the Education & Outreach Projects category that includes "... projects that inform and educate others about environmentally responsible practices or that empower citizens to enhance the quality of the environment for local, regional, or global communities."
Tell us where we should be on the rack!
Our supporters help the organization in many ways - through their subscriptions, contributions, and through support of our advertisers.
Here's another way to help spread the word: let us know the name of your local general store if they carry magazines but don't carry Northern Woodlands. Hundreds of mom and pop stores already carry the magazine, but we know that you know a great venue where Northern Woodlands is not currently sold. Store recommendations can be forwarded to Emily. Thank you!

The mission of the Center for Northern Woodlands
Education is to encourage a culture of forest stewardship in the
Northeast by producing and distributing media content to increase
understanding of and appreciation for the natural wonders, economic
productivity, and ecological integrity of the region's forests. Our
programs give people the information
they need to help build a sustainable future for our region. Through
Northern Woodlands magazine, the Northern Woodlands Goes to School
program, and special
publications, we make a difference in how people care for their land.
