In Memory of John Hemenway

The Vermont Woodlands Association would like to remember John Hemenway who passed away on December 21, 2016 at the age of 92. His work for the New England Forest Foundation began in 1953. Hemenway served on the VWA Board of Directors for many, many years, with his involvement in the Vermont Timberland Owners Association (now VWA) beginning in the early 1980s. He was the Vermont Outstanding Tree Farmer of the Year in 2013. John was a trusted friend, mentor, and inspiration for many in the New England forestry community. We hope his work and commitment to support woodlands, conservation, and sustainable management continues to inspire woodland owners for decades to come. A link to his obituary can be found here.

The New England Forestry Foundation has a wonderful memorial write-up as does the Valley News.
