Thank you for your interest in the Vermont Conservation Plan! As part of the ongoing efforts to improve public engagement for this planning process, we now have a dedicated URL: vermontconservationplan.com! That is where you will find the most up-to-date information.
The lab2.futureiq.com/vcp pages are not being updated as of December 15, 2025.
We greatly appreciate all the time Vermonters have spent this year helping us to get to this point, and we hope you will find this to be a helpful window into our work of the last nine months to recommend a conservation plan to the Vermont General Assembly by June of 2026. We are sharing with you the initial framework, or outline, we are proposing for the Vermont Conservation Plan.”
– Trey Martin, Director of Conservation, VHCB
The public was invited to review the Framework Report and take a survey or make a custom submission.
The second revision was finalized June 25, 2025, and presented to the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) in July. The objectives and pathways were presented at the Regional Listening Sessions for input in July and August, 2025. Many stakeholders requested more detail about Vermont Conservation Design, upon which the report is largely centered.
The first revision was finalized June 12, 2025, and presented to the TAC for review and input. The largest piece of feedback was a need for additional context. Reference to the work that led to this framework (Phase 1 engagement opportunities, existing conservation initiatives, Vermont Conservation Design, etc.), was needed to explain the process and context.
