Sorry New England, turns out Vermont really is greener.
Every spring, I'm always surprised by just how thick, lush, and green the plants and trees are right outside my house. And I always find myself asking the same question:
"Is there really something to the name Green Mountains?"
Well, like the child of the digital age I am - I Googled it. And turns out, the answer is yes.
The unique blend of mountains, soil, & lake proximity creates an environment that allows for vast, unbroken tracts of green forest from the valley floors to the highest peaks.
Compare that to New Hampshire which technically has greater forest coverage, but has an ecosystem that provides for rockier mountains and slightly thinner forest canopies (not coming after you New Hampshire, you're still a beautiful state 😉)
So - Vermont really is The Green Mountain 😁
