Description: Located approximately seven miles east of the University of Vermont campus, the Talcott Forest consists of 83 acres in Williston. Given to the University by the Talcott family in 1962, the deed designates use of the land for educational, scientific, and extension activity. The
Talcott Forest is being managed as a natural succession forest. Majestic hemlock-hardwood stands characterize the eastern section, while beech-birch-maple stands comprise the heart of the forest. White and red pine plantations are also located within this forest.
