What is and where are old growth forests in Vermont? The entire state was clear cut pre 1900.

There is almost no old growth in Vermont. Which biome in Vermont are you referring to?

Well from where my family is from in Ontario we have old-growth red and white pine, it used to be the biggest red and white pine range in Canada

That’s cool. Love the forest. Yet, Ontario isn’t New England. Selective cutting done to modern standards and regulations is generally good for the environment, the economy, and the native flora and fauna.
If there is truly old growth, than leave it alone. Otherwise, humans and their actions are part of the natural environment.
