As the owners and caretakers of more than 5,000 acres of timberland in Windham and Grafton, we wanted to explain the details of our proposal to put three temporary meteorological towers atop our property.
Meadowsend is a family-owned timber and forestry company dedicated to land conservation. The French family has owned Meadowsend and has been a proud neighbor in Grafton and Windham for 16 years.
We have always taken pride in the way we have managed the property, and we have made it available for the public to use for snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, hiking, and other activities. We manage the property under Vermont's Current Use Program, and we are determined to continue this practice for years to come.
Like all industries, we now find ourselves doing business in a highly competitive global market. It is becoming very clear to us that managing this property for timber alone is not economically sustainable over the long term. If we are going to keep this land intact, we must look to maximize its other assets.
