Memorial to Charles C. Doll 1898-1990 ROLFE STANLEY and BARRY DOOLAN Burlington, Vermont
Memorial to Charles C. Doll 1898-1990 ROLFE STANLEY and BARRY DOOLAN Burlington, Vermont Charles G. Doll passed away on March 12,1990, thus end ing a long and productive career as State Geologist for Vermont and as a well-known professor at the University of Vermont. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, on Au gust 22,1898, he was educated at Brown University where he received a Ph.B. in 1924 and an M.A. in geology in 1926. Two major events occurred in the fall of 1927: Charles Doll joined the faculty of the University of Ver mont as an instructor, and a massive flood devastated much of Vermont. “Charlie” often joked about his early welcome to the Green Mountain State. He remained on the faculty of the University of Vermont until his retirement as Professor and Chair in 1964, an administrative responsibil ity that he assumed in 1946. During his tenure at the uni versity, the department grew to three members and offered an undergraduate major and a master of science program. From his first entry into Vermont, the varied topography and fascinating geology were a central love of his professional life. In 1930 and 1931 “Mr. Doll and Mr. Carleton,” both instructors at the university, were inspired by Professor Buchanan to complete the northern extension of the Long Trail in the Jay Peak region of the Green Mountains. In the following years Charlie worked for the Vermont Geological Survey, publishing many of his findings in the Biennial Reports. Chief among these was his work in the Vermont copper belt in Strafford and his discovery of Paleozoic fossils in eastern Vermont. -

Vermont Forests 2017
United States Department of Agriculture Vermont Forests 2017 Forest Service Northern Resource Bulletin Publication Date Research Station NRS-120 March 2020 Abstract The second full remeasurement of the annual inventory of the forests of Vermont was completed in 2017 and covers nearly 4.5 million acres of forest land, with an average volume of over 2,300 cubic feet per acre. The data in this report are based on 1,125 plots located across Vermont. Forest land is dominated by the maple/beech/birch forest-type group, which occupies 71 percent of total forest land area. Of the forest land, 70 percent consists of large diameter trees, 23 percent contains medium diameter trees, and 7 percent contains small diameter trees. The volume of growing stock on timberland has continued to increase since the 1980s and currently totals nearly 9 billion cubic feet. The average annual net growth of growing stock on timberland from 2012 to 2017 was nearly 160 million cubic feet per year. Additional information is presented on forest attributes, land use change, carbon, timber products, species composition, regeneration, and forest health. Sets of supplemental tables are available online at https://doi.org/10.2737/NRS-RB-120 and contain summaries of quality assurance data and a core set of estimates for a variety of forest resources. Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank inventory crew members from Vermont for their help during the 2008–2017 inventory years: Aaron Clark, Robert Gregory, John Higham, Katherine Locke, Jason Morrison, Joyce Quinn, Bryan Tirrell, and Ashley Zickefoose. Thanks also to Paul Frederick and Barbara Schultz for serving as reviewers and providing insightful, constructive comments.
