They’re talking about above 2500’asl where no development activity is allowed (except for denuding ridgelines and decimating bear habitat for wind turbines). Good maple producing stands do not exist at these elevations. They’re also probably talking about the Champion lands where in the past 10 years even human foot traffic has been prohibited.

The land closures by the state and feds in VT are going to bite us soon as the forests are becoming tangled and choked. We are set up for massive forest fires and do not possess the technology to deal with them as does the west. The result of a major forest fire in VT will be a disaster only seen in the most devastating fires in the west.
