When most folks think of Vermont, they think maple syrup and cheese, snow and winter sports. But, with its prized northern hardwoods, Vermont is also home to a host of woodcrafters and fine furniture makers who produce award-winning, value-added wood products. When shopping for quality wooden furniture, housewares, toys, and gifts, look for the Vermont Quality Wood Products logo. It symbolizes the unique craftmanship found in this state. Take a tour, from the forest to the finished product, and see for yourself why "Made in Vermont" resonates so distinctly in the minds and hearts of visitors.
The location below is just one of the state's many working forests, showrooms, woodworking studios, factories and sawmills where visitors can experience the forest or shop for high-quality wood products. The featured tours are ones that can accommodate large numbers of visitors at one time and have ample space for tour bus parking and turnaround. For the independent traveler (FIT) who prefers to go it alone, there are many other companies throughout the state to visit, both large and small.
Please see the website www.VermontForestHeritage.org to find information on guided and self-guided tours available at many of our forest and wood products companies. |

| Moosalamoo truly has something for everyone, and for each season of the year. The Moosalamoo Association is a "friends" group for a 20,000-acre region of the Green Mountain Ntional Forest. Come experience the Robert Frost Interpretive Trail. This trail is a National Recreation Trail that commemorates Robert Frost's poetry. Several of his poems are mounted along the trail in the woods and fields. Blueberries and huckleberies grow in an old field at the far end of the trail. The Forest Service maintains all of the old fields along this trail with prescribed fire to preserve the scenic, open appearance of the area. The trail is an easy walk, and the first 0.3 miles across a beaver pond boardwalk out to the South Branch of the Middlebury River is accessible and suitable for wheelchairs. Nearby destinations and attractions are the Texas Falls Recreation Area, the Moosalamoo Campground and the Water Tower Trails. |
