We protect the land that makes Vermont special – farms, forests, parks, trails, ponds and more. We want to make sure that people today and future generations are able to enjoy the land and Vermont’s rural traditions like those who came before us.
We conserve farmland, forestland, and land important to communities. We match farmers with affordable farmland to encourage new businesses to grow. We also work with owners of conserved land to make sure that land remains healthy and productive.
One way we can protect Vermont’s working landscape is to conserve land. This land includes productive farmland; forests rich with timber and wildlife habitat; and town forests and trails that further our connection to nature and neighbors. We work with both private landowners and communities to protect that land that makes Vermont special.
