Yale Endowment

Yale University's Endowment Fund is the primary landowner in Ira involved with the proposed industrial wind farm through their for-profit subsidiary, Yankee Forest LLC. Vermont's Agency of Natural Resources, in a letter dated Dec. 22,2009, announced their opposition to the proposed wind farm declaring that it "should be considered a Rare and Irreplaceable Natural Area." Yankee Forest's land in Ira, 1,400+ acres, is but a small portion of the total 23,600 acres the Agency addresses. "Sustainable Forestry" is the mantra of Yale University's Forestry Program as well as the Endowment's in their 2009 Annual Report. It might be a benefit to all if they could reconcile their interests in Ira with their testament to sustainability.

Write a letter or contact their Chief Investment Officer, David F. Swensen, and express your concern and feelings.
