In the 1950s, Hugo Meyer bought abandoned Vermont farms; his family has protected 18,000+ acres

In a remarkable effort, the Meyer family has preserved thousands of acres in the Worcester Range of Vermont, committing to a sustainable approach to timber management. This conservation initiative plays a vital role in protecting significant wildlife corridors and northern hardwood ecosystems, with part of the funding sourced from the U.S. Forest Service’s Forest Legacy Program, paving the way for future generations to enjoy the area’s natural beauty.
