Vermont: Wind Energy On Our Green Mountain Ridgeline

Date: Monday, September 19, 2016 to Friday, September 23, 2016
We will travel around Vermont to learn from people on the frontlines of this boiling controversy weighing on our state. We will learn from citizens in Lowell and Sheffield, where wind development is already installed and ‘on line’ on their ridges; we will experience the groundbreaking ceremony for the Deerfield Wind Project, the FIRST and ONLY wind development in the National Forest; we will learn from the citizens in Grafton and Windham where a vote is taking place in November, 2017 that will help determine whether a wind development installation will be built; and we will learn from neighboring citizens to the proposed Swanton Wind project.
