Visiting Sleepy Hollow: Skiing and Carbon Sequestration
Sleepy Hollow is a popular winter recreation place in Huntington Vermont.
Eli Enman and his family own 800 acres of woodlands in Huntington, Vermont. The property, a popular location for hiking and mountain biking, opens as a cross-country ski resort during the winters. Eli has been able to see the effects of climate change as the amount of snow fall has reduced year-by-year. Enrolling his property in the Family Forest Carbon Program is just one way that the family work to fight climate change and help their forest thrive for generations to come.
“We were wanting to do what we can, and FFCP allows us to contribute to climate change solutions by helping us store more carbon on our property” says Eli.
The Enman’s story, along with more details about the Family Forest Carbon Program, was recently published by The Nature Conservancy.
