Our Purpose

Eric Riendeau Logging & Trucking works to protect Vermont’s forests and natural resources through responsible, sustainable practices. Our selective cutting methods improve forest health by removing diseased or overcrowded trees, allowing stronger growth and supporting wildlife habitat. By planning carefully and using low-impact equipment, we help prevent soil erosion, protect root systems, and maintain the long-term productivity of the land. We prioritize water protection by maintaining buffer zones, preventing sediment runoff, and using techniques that keep streams, wetlands, and groundwater clean. Healthy forests play a major role in climate resilience, and our work supports stronger regrowth, increased carbon storage, and long-lasting forest vitality. We also contribute to local renewable energy by supplying sustainably harvested firewood, chips, and biomass, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and keeping resources within the community. Our commitment is simple: manage forests responsibly today so they remain healthy, productive, and resilient for future generations.
