The Center-led Bike Borderlands mountain bike network collaborative is doubling from 8 to 16 member networks, including destinations in New York state for the first time.

The Northern Forest Center opened nine new apartments and two new commercial spaces in its renovated building in downtown St. Johnsbury, Vermont, adding to middle-market housing available.

With help from the Center’s business innovation advisor, Amy Robinson, Goodridge Lumber secured a grant for more than $225,000 so it could switch from diesel to 3-phase power from a local utility, enabling the mill to continue as a critical link in the local forest economy.

The Center’s Bike Borderlands team reached new audiences in 2024 to spread the tenets of the Ride With Gratitude campaign throughout the region.

The Northern Forest Center is just $143,000 away from raising the full $5.9 million cost of transforming a historic building into a cornerstone of the St. Johnsbury community.

Canaan, VT, created a Community Forest in 2012 that today supports a robust experiential learning program for local students.

Since 2019, the Center has spearheaded the regional marketing campaign “getNEKedVT”. Now, with an additional grant secured, the campaign can further position the region as a place to not only visit but to live for a lifetime.

The Northern Forest’s tradition of conserving land for community benefit earns boost from the U.S. Forest Service.

Project partners revealed designs for new wayfinding signage for the Newport Waterfront Recreation Path and adjoining Beebe Spur Trail in Newport, Vermont.

The Center has purchased 560 Railroad Street in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, to redevelop as middle-market housing and commercial spaces to support the community.
