We’ll discuss the stratgies for the lake’s future health. And our series of audio postcards from Vermont towns continues with a visit to Readsboro.

Prehistoric Vermont

By |
For the past 11,000 years, humans have been living in the area now known as Vermont. But long before that, glaciers covered the land and when those receded, the Champlain Sea filled in.
