George Bellerose Discusses His New Book — Portrait of a Forest: Men and Machine

Interview with Photojournalist George Bellerose The Northern Logger On this episode of the Northern Logger Podcast, I speak with photojournalist George Bellerose, from Weybridge Vermont, about his new book Portrait of a Forest: Men and Machine. Bellerose has spent 50 years as a writer, journalist, and photographer, and the last 20 years as a photojournalist documenting the lives of everyday people. In his own words, he says that he is interested in people who are essential to community well-being but who are often overlooked or understood only superficially. Portrait of a Forest: Men and Machine embodies those beliefs. The 304-page book, published by Vermont Folklife, documents how logging has shaped Vermont and examines the economic and environmental challenges facing the forest today.The book can be purchased from The Vermont Bookshop in Middlebury, VT in-person or online.We’ll also be selling the book at the Northeastern Forest Products Equipment Expo (also known as the Logger’s Expo) in Bangor, Maine, held from May 19th to 20th. Stop by The Northern Logger booth to purchase a copy.
