UVM is over 80% out of state students. They truly want the rich to pay

I believe the posted signs should have contact info (phone no and address) of the land owner. You could call and / visit in person. I would think an in person visit would be more personal and effective.

Welcome to the world of environmentally friendly paint. Safety be damned.

Yeah. Cause more state aid = cheaper tuition.
Keep drinking the Kool aid.

Same. Even though I had little desire to go to UVM, I didn't expect my in-state merit offer to be so paltry despite my strong grades and test scores. I think the only way my offer would've improved is with a Green and Gold scholarship (full tuition), but that requires being HS valedictorian.

How much is a full-time semester at UVM now? I am really out of touch.

Statutory damages for timber theft are 3x the value of the wood taken. Go after them.

Whoa wait a minute. Per year or per semester?

Same, but ‘95 and went out west to save money. Didn’t bother even applying at UVM because of costs. Now my kid can get 60% off out of state tuition at the same school. My family keeps suggesting he apply to UVM and we have no interest.

forced out
except you've turned $80k into nearly $200k simply by purchasing at the right time. I suspect you won't be homeless with your six figure windfall. $1,800/year in increased taxes on an $80k+ profit seems like...not very much?
I know it's theoretical value until you sell, except you have that value in equity.

Daughter goes there and has a merit scholarship which makes it affordable compared to some oft the other schools she was looking at, but still a lot of outbid pocket money.

You aren't crazy. I moved here from another state and have noticed the same. Vermont uses some crappy road paint.

you can thank our lawmakers and fellow citizens who've kept Vermont 50th for state support for higher education--even if half of Vermont students attend for free, tuition is prohibitively expensive for the rest due to our nearly non-existent state support. It's essentially a private school with a nominal state affiliation.

Good ole Oneonta. Love that little town. I sure do miss Brooks BBQ.

Your kids will have a better experience in NY anyway.
If you're from Vermont going to college in Vermont is not the move at all. Kids need to experience other places. The state is way too sheltered for their own good

I was also there in person last week - it was great. I was very impressed with the food. The ambiance isn’t great, it’s pretty basic. But the fish was good, as was the Greek food!

I graduated a Vermont high school, top ten, with two UVM alumni as parents, in 96. With a scholarship to deal with room/board, it was cheaper to go to a school in Texas. Without the finaid packages, it (edit) would not have (/edit) been cheaper to go to UVM for a semester than it was to go to the Texas school for a year.
That is all to say, UVM's tuition is not a new problem.

I lived in Burlington the entire time I was a student at SUNY Plattsburgh. UVM tuition was way out of my range I was new to the area and was considered out of state there or UVM. The tuition was $12,000 or $30,000 respectively. The commute was more than worth the hassle and I received an amazing education in NY

Yeah but timber isn't worth jack squat - you might be able to recoup enough to cover legal fees if you can actually manage to collect on the judgement. "Decorative" trees however can bring big money depending on type, location and age.
The difference being, a tree in the woods is only considered worth whatever it would be in lumber value. Last I saw, split hardwood was going for around $300/cd - roughly 3 14" dia trees; whereas a decorative one has to account for "replacement" cost of a like tree being brought in. So if you have a big 100yo Maple in your front yard cut down, a similarly sized one would need to be brought in to replace it. Since this is not only insanely expensive (big equipment for big trees, then finding a suitable "donor" tree) but also highly likely to fail (a big tree like that isn't likely to survive the moving and transplanting), it's "base" value is much higher; so once the treble damages kick in, you can see judgements in the 6 figures pretty quick with just a few trees.
