Land Conservation Initiative
LAND PROTECTIONIN PARTNERSHIP WITH LANDOWNERS AND COMMUNITIES, WE CONSERVE LAND AND ENSURE ITS CONTINUED PROTECTION. OVER THE PAST FORTY-SEVEN YEARS WE HAVE PROTECTED OVER 647,000 ACRES, OR 11% OF THE STATE. THIS INCLUDES OVER A THOUSAND WORKING FARMS, 440,000 ACRES OF PRODUCTIVE FORESTLAND, AND 1,400 MILES OF STREAMS. OUR WORK SUPPORTS RURAL LIVELIHOODS AND LOCAL ECONOMIES, THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF VERMONTERS AND VISITORS, AND HUNDREDS OF PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES THAT CALL VERMONT HOME. WE ENSURE THE ONGOING PROTECTION OF THIS LAND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OVER 2,000 LANDOWNERS. THROUGH REGULAR EDUCATION AND MONITORING, WE UPHOLD THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS THAT RESTRICT DEVELOPMENT AND WORK WITH LANDOWNERS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND VIABILITY OF THEIR LANDS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$14.9MCommunity Land Access Program
INVESTING IN PLACETO STRENGTHEN CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PEOPLE AND LAND, CATALYZE FARM AND FOREST BUSINESSES, AND BROADEN LAND ACCESS, WE OWN LAND FOR SHORT OR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. TODAY, WE OWN FOUR FLAGSHIP PROPERTIES AND A HANDFUL OF OTHER PROPERTIES THAT BRING PEOPLE ON TO LAND. THESE PLACES SUPPORT COMMUNITY GARDENS, MULTI-USE TRAILS, AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES, FORESTRY DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS, AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. PROGRAMMING ON THESE LANDS IS DONE IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS, BUSINESSES, AND VOLUNTEERS. ADDITIONALLY, TO ADVANCE AFFORDABLE ACCESS TO FARMLAND, WE SOMETIMES BUY AND TRANSFER FARMLAND USING CONSERVATION AS A TOOL TO MAKE LAND MORE AFFORDABLE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF FARMERS. USING THIS APPROACH, WE HAVE HELPED OVER 100 FARMERS BUY LAND AND GROW THEIR BUSINESSES.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$3.4MBrewster Uplands Conservation Trust
