Invasive plants threaten the health of many forests in Vermont. In many instances these plants are in our forests due to past agricultural land uses. The Crawford Town Forest in Royalton is an example of a forest impacted by past land use. This forest is one of many forests in our region dealing with these issues. At this town forest active measures have been made to rehabilitate the forest. These efforts include a harvest and invasive plant control.
