Join the Norwich Bookstore as we celebrate the release of Vermont Almanac Volume III, with contributors Edith Forbes and Chuck Wooster, and editors Virginia Barlow and Patrick White!
The Vermont Almanac, now on its third volume, is organized by month, and provides a year’s worth of stories, data, illustrations, and photography. In this sense, Vermont Almanac frames time: when you’re wondering what year the forest tent caterpillar infestation was, or if deer season 2020 was the snowy one or the mild one, you’ll have a record to consult. But each volume does more than look back; it also introduces readers to the people who inspire hope for the future of the land we all share. The farmers, loggers, conservationists, homesteaders, scientists, hunters – in short, the “doers” – who are preserving and pioneering a rural way of life in an increasingly urbanized culture. The goal is for the Vermont Almanac to bring together the many individuals and organizations in Vermont whose mission and purpose falls within the land ethic we live by – one that combines economic vitality with environmental stewardship and the values of rural life.
