The Little Hogback Community Forest is a 115-acre parcel of forestland in Monkton jointly owned by 16 shareholders. Each shareholder purchases the right to enjoy and profit from carefully conserved forestland on which subdivision, development, and over-cutting are off limits.

The Vermont Land Trust holds a conservation easement on the parcel, which ensures that the land will be carefully managed and that it will never be subdivided or developed. This restriction on development has the added benefit of lowering the price of the land.
