It was made into a ski mountain resort in the 1960s, where much of the trees on the mountain were cleared for ski trails and lifts. in 1999 the resort put into place a wildlife habitat study which included preservation of 1,500 acres for deer habitat, bear travel corridors, and bird habitat. Looking around at this phenological spot I can tell that it is a very healthy wildlife habitat by the abundance of birds. There are many spots where there are thick forests full of high elevation birch, hemlock, sugar and red maple, and many fir tree species. The trees appear to be a mix of old and new growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"71\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1387-770x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1387-770x1024.jpg 770w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1387-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1387-768x1021.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1387-1155x1536.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1387.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"74\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1389-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1389-773x1024.jpg 773w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1389-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1389-768x1017.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1389-1159x1536.jpg 1159w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1389.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"775\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"72\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1391-775x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1391-775x1024.jpg 775w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1391-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1391-768x1014.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1391-1163x1536.jpg 1163w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1391.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"777\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"73\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1392-777x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1392-777x1024.jpg 777w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1392-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1392-768x1012.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1392-1166x1536.jpg 1166w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1392.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"773\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1394-1024x773.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1394-1024x773.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1394-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1394-768x580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1394-1536x1159.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/jsamitt\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG_1394.jpg 1550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My spot over break was in Stratton Vermont.
