IRS990/Desc0The Northwoods Conservation Corps provides hands-on, conservation based, education and employment opportunities to local youth in the communities in which wwe work. In 2014 the Corps worked in the states of VT, NH, MASS, and Ct completing priority conservation products which include stream bank stabilization, riparian buffer restoration, invasive exotic plant control, wildlife habitant improvement and trail building and maintenance projects. Fifty two young people completed 15,336 hours of conservation work and 1,400 hours of environmental education and employment training. Northwoods professional conservation crews completed 1,120 hours of conservation work. Project highlights included the opening of the Fort River Birding and Universal Access Trail, the North Branch Trail, and continued work on the long distance Middle Mountain Trail and planting over 4,000 trees restoring 12.75 acres of ripartian buffer. New initiatives in 2014 included the development of an Urban Youth Corps program in Springfield, Mass., as well as working with the Androscoggin River Committee to field a River Steward, and finally the management of invasive exotic plant control efforts for the Upper Connecticut Invasive Species Management Area.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Just two years after the inception of our Forest Stewardship Institute (FSI), this program continues to grow and increase its impacts and recognition across the region. In 2014 our efforts fell within three focal areas; forestry demonstration and education, landowner forestry services, and science projects.Significant work was done to improve access and educational resources within our 1500 acre Spitzer Demonstration Forest in East Charleston, including installing new interpretive signage and maps at our demo management areas. Nine of these areas have been established across the site since 2012, providing first hand examples of sustainable forest management techniques ranging from invasive plant control to Crop Tree Release and small group selection openings to improve forest songbird habitat. New lesson plans and website content were also developed to improve the educational value of this sustainable forestry work. Our forest gained certification under the American Tree Farm System (the oldest family forest certification program in the United States), and is under review to be considereda model Forest by the Forest Guild. Many school and adult groups visited the site, including a Paul Smith's College forestry class. Seven workshops were held onsite in collaboration with Vermont Woodlands Association (VWA), Vermont Coverts, and the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife with over 140 participarts.The FSI program also offers forestry consulting services to landowners across the region, and this work continue to grow in 2014. Twenty four landowners owning nearly 5000 acres benefited from this service and outcomes included 8 new Use Value Appraisal (UVA) or NRCS forest management plans, 5 UVA maps, 6 property walks, and management work on 6 properties walks, and management work on 6 properties. Management activities completed by our staff ranged from invasive plant control to forest stand improvement work, and wildlife habitat improvement.Through a Working Lands Enterprise Grant, we purchased a new Metavic log forwarding trailer to be used with or 4x4 tractor and winch to complete low-impact timber harvest operations on suitable properties where traditional commercial logging would not be appropriate - and to promote increased local use of forest products grown and harvested locally. To quote our friends from VWA, local wood=local good. We began offering this service to landowers in 2014, completing two pilot projects, and have four sites lined up for 2015.On the science front, several projects were completed to address water quality concerns in northwestern Vermont. Under the Trees for Streams and Lakeshore Buffering programs, we planted 1900 native trees and shrubs at 11 sites across the region to re-established riparian buffers along streams and lakes. Tree survivability surveys were completed, revealing a success rate of 83% (above the state average). NorthWoods received an Ecosystem Restoration Program grant to continue and coordinate this work in 2015. Other projects involved invasive plant control efforts in the upper Connecticut River watershed and flood hazard mitigation plans for towns in the region.For a second year, NorthWoods presented the George Buzzell Stewardship Award, which honors an individual committed to sustainable forestland management in the Northeast Kingdom, and who has worked to ensure the long resiliency and productivity of our forests. The 2014 Buzzell award recipient was Fern fontaine, who retired this year following an 18-year tenure teaching in the Natural Resources program at North Country Career Center, and who has had a lifelong dedication to forestry and education. The award ceremony was attended by many local students and educators who spoke highly of Fern's contribution and positive impacts.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0In 2014, the Northwoods Education staff facilitated 222 programs for 4655 students. Programs were focused on environmental education, renewable energy, teambuilding, survival skills for the outdoors, forestry, watersheds, and outdoor recreation. Northwoods offered 8 weeks of summer camp for 120 campers from ages 6 - 14. Themes of camp included primitive skills and crafts, connecting hands-on with the natural world through exploration, study and play, as well as leadership building and team development. Sense of place was explored through geography lessons learned first-hand hiking local Kingdom peaks and traveling waterways by canoe. In addition, 700 community members participated in outreach programs. These outreach programs help extend Northwood's mission to the larger community - by increasing the community's understanding and connection to the natural world - through art, music, educational workshops, and recreational adventures.
