The Green Mountain Club is encouraging and requesting donations specifically to support the organization’s stewardship program. A press release linked to the Big Jay cut cites the need to raise $50,000 in the coming months for land preservation and stewardship. Green Mountain Club Stewardship Coordinator Rebecca Washburn estimates that almost 1,000 trees were cut on a swath that measures 900 vertical feet up to 60 feet wide.
