Brief descriptions were attached to the end points of each axis, to create a continuum along the axis. The think-tank developed a narrative for each scenario and described the characteristics of the Vermont forest economy in 2035 under the conditions of each scenario quadrant. This scenario planning process provided a way to tease out plausible future scenarios and examine them from a speculative standpoint. They represent different possibilities for the future of the Vermont forest economy, looking out to 2035.
