Beth Wallace, associate director for early-childhood educator engagement at the Vermont Association for the Education of Young Children, was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Mount Anthony Union School District Board. The district includes Mount Anthony Union Middle School and Mount Anthony Union High School.

Master arborist Richard Wood, founder of Trees Vermont, has announced his intention to retire from the tree-care industry later this spring.

Wood began his career in the landscape maintenance industry, starting with snow removal, in 1993. Within a short time, he expanded the business to lawn and landscape maintenance, including light tree care. After the Great Northeast Ice Storm of 1998, Wood shifted his focus to general tree work, and by 2000 he was working solely in tree-care operations.
