Description of the activity/assignment
This resource is a web-based archive of historical and modern photograph pairs documenting 150 years of human interaction with the Vermont landscape. This continually growing collection of photos was gathered by researchers and K-16 students, and illustrates changes in the land use and the associated landscape response in local areas across Vermont.
