Vermont Land Trust

The Vermont Land Trust is a 501(c)(3) conservation organization based in Montpelier, Vermont, dedicated to protecting the state's most valuable agricultural lands, forests, and community spaces. Through strategic land conservation efforts, the organization works with farmers, woodland owners, and communities to preserve Vermont's natural heritage while fostering public connections to the farms, forests, and green spaces that define the region. The Vermont Land Trust protects land across the state through conservation easements, land acquisition, and stewardship programs, ensuring that productive farmland remains viable for future generations, forests are managed for wildlife and recreation, and community spaces remain accessible to all Vermonters. By combining land protection with educational initiatives and recreational opportunities, the organization demonstrates how conservation can strengthen local economies and communities while preserving Vermont's natural resources.
