Department Establishes New Right of Way Policy
The Bennington County Forest Association helped spur the state Highway Department to adopt a new right of way purchase policy. It will seek board approval to buy 50 feet more of right of way for frontage logging roads, aiding access to wood lands. Forester David C. Barton warned that the four lane highway through the county could landlock timberland from Bacon Hollow, Sunderland, to Lye Brook, Manchester, risking loss of future forest management due to terrain and highway location.
