Ethan Tapper is a nationally-recognized forester, bestselling author, and content creator from Vermont. In 2017, he bought a 175-acre forest in Bolton, Vermont that he now calls “Bear Island.”

On this episode of Nature Revisited, Tapper walks us through the fragile and resilient community that is a forest, and recounts- through countless bittersweet and beautiful acts- how he was able to transform the problem-ridden Bear Island from a symbol of “everything that was wrong with the world,” into “a symbol of what is possible, a symbol of hope." He explains how the actions we must take to protect ecosystems are often counterintuitive, uncomfortable, even heartbreaking, reminding us that what is simple is rarely true, and what is necessary is rarely easy.
