MANCHESTER, Vt. -

There's a new district ranger coming to the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forest.

The Manchester Ranger Station will now be manned by William Jackson, who says he fell in love with the Vermont woods while on vacation.

The Bennington Banner says Jackson is coming from a district in Colorado, where he says there are many similarities between the two regions.

District rangers oversee the administration of the ranger station and forest projects.
