THE
TREELOVER’S CALENDAR, 2003 AND 2004
The majority of VTS expenses have been paid
from funds raised producing and selling the
2003
& 2004 VTS Treelover’s Calendars,
which were
distributed around the state at various bookstores
& gift shops.
The 2003 calendar featured our treelover’s
art contest
winners.
2004’s theme was VT’s Champion Trees and
featured the first-ever published state-wide
big tree map
in the
Geographic Information).
We were honored by the collaboration of many fine
writers, artists and photographers who donated
their
work.
