Dykema Property

Guilford, Vermont
Completed Project

The Northeast Wilderness Trust received a donated, forever-wild easement on this 212-acre family property in 2004. The tract is largely forested, rocky and rugged, and dominated by hemlock and hardwoods. The forests here were once used for pasture and logging but have recovered to relatively high-integrity forest ecosystems. They are part of a fairly intact lower elevation forested landscape and represent some of the native ecological diversity of southeastern Vermont. Maintaining these forests as forever wild will add to the ecological diversity of the landscape, as old-growth forest features and a more complexly structured forest and landscape will be allowed to develop over time.

• About Northeast Wilderness Trust

  The Northeast Wilderness Trust works to conserve forever-wild landscapes for nature and people. As the only land trust in the Northeast that protects land as wilderness, the organization uses various land conservation tools and often works with conservation partners including other land trusts. The Trust protects wild places in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, eastern New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
