Subset of forest blocks that are part of a larger inter-connected network of forests, riparian areas, and other habitats that provide connectivity across the state and broader northeast region. These forest blocks were identified by state ecologists and biologists during the Vermont Conservation Design. A variety of other data layers, connectivity computer models, and studies were used to evaluate and identify the connector blocks. Block boundaries were remapped by Native Geographic, LLC in 2020 (see Interior Forest Blocks). <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>
