[|Mill River Lumber Ltd.] Supply Vermont-milled and -harvested eastern white pine. [|Sinclair Mill Works] Specialty wood from the Northeast Kingdom. They do structural wood, but are also really into decorative stuff. [|Vermont Wildwoods] Really cool company that does custom processing of wood that is exclusively forest-salvage and disease-killed butternut. They pay logging companies to keep live trees standing and take out the trees that have been killed by an airborne fungus. They also advertise social responsibility (fair pay to mill and logging workers) alongside ecological responsibility. [|Recycled Wood] ReNew Salvage Building Materials deconstructs buildings scheduled to be demolished and makes them into reusable building products. They divert tons of waste from going to landfills and are easily the greenest company on this list. They might also be the hardest to use. They're part of Vermont's Environmental Business Partnership and would probably be a good resource for all sorts of cool materials, wood, structural, and otherwise.
