About the Moosalamoo Association

The mission of the Association is to:

The goal of the Stewardship Initiative is to enhance wildlife habitats, to conduct conservation planning and conservation education activities, and to complete inventory and monitoring work needed on National Forest System lands and adjacent private lands in the 30,000 acre Moosalamoo area of the Green Mountain National Forest in central Vermont. This is an innovative, landscape level project that serves as a demonstration to other public-private partnerships throughout the country. Moosalamoo is made-up of a rich mosaic of landscapes containing a unique set of critical habitats including cliff-based nesting sites for peregrine falcons, suspected summer habitats of various bat species, rich wetland homes of numerous reptiles and amphibians, and a blend of upland hardwoods and upper elevation spruce-fir forests.
