The St Johnsbury CDJR Outdoor Edge Show

What Most Landowners Don't Know About Their Woods

This week on St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram’s Outdoor Edge, we explore the connection between healthy forests, wildlife habitat, and the people who care for the land.
Gary Moore sits down with Lisa Sausville, Executive Director of Vermont Coverts: Woodlands for Wildlife, for a conversation about forestry, conservation, wildlife habitat, and helping landowners become better stewards of their woodlands. Whether you own a few acres or simply enjoy spending time outdoors, you'll gain a new appreciation for the forests that make Vermont such a special place.
We also bring you our Spring Backyard Report with Corey Collins, who has some exciting and exclusive news about the 2026 World Famous Collins Corn Maze. If you're already looking ahead to fall fun in the Northeast Kingdom, you won't want to miss this first look at what's coming this year.
