VRC is working with partners all over the state to protect exceptional places along rivers and other Vermont waters. There is so much to do-but we need your help to do it! What could be more important for future generations of Vermonters than clean water and healthy lands along rivers, lakes, and wetlands?

VRC is working -- right now -- throughout Vermont to protect and improve water quality and to protect the wildlife habitat, natural areas, and water lands (forests, wetlands, shores and beaches, parks, forests and farms) that Vermont communities enjoy.

We need your help to aggressively pursue our active conservation projects in the Deerfield, Winooski, Lamoille, Otter Creek, Connecticut River, and Lake Champlain watersheds. We are putting new strategies into action to protect clean water for drinking, swimming, and fishing in, water that wildlife depends on. Each of our current projects is protecting wildlife habitat for fish, mammals, birds and all the rich assortment of plants and animals that compose Vermont’s natural places along our waters.

In our projects, we are also working responsibly to protect public access and the human connection with water. Our active projects are ensuring that access is well managed and that education flourishes.

Because of our work protecting land through purchase and the establishment of voluntary land protection agreements with landowners, we are safeguarding a better future for the generations that come after us.

We welcome you as a conservation partner. We need your support. This work is a cost-effective investment in a great future for our people and our land, and we thank you for joining us.

We currently have water/land protection efforts along the:

• Nulhegan River Corridor – various parcels (Bloomfield)
• Vermont River Management Program – River Corridor Easements, various parcels (statewide)
• Terrill Gorge –Second Parcel (Morrisville)
• Center Pond Shoreline (Newark)

We will only be able to protect these special places in Vermont with your support.
