There are two milestones in this work, both led by the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board (VHCB), in consultation with the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR). The first is the Conservation Inventory Report and the second is the development of the Conservation Plan. The Conservation Inventory Report was completed in Phase 1 of the project, in September 2024.
This will be developed with input from a range of stakeholders, including private owners of forest lands and agricultural lands, land trusts, conservation organizations, environmental organizations, working lands enterprises, outdoor recreation groups and businesses, watershed groups, municipalities, regional planning commissions, conservation commissions, and relevant State and federal agencies. This work will run from May 2025 to June 2026.
As part of the development of the Conservation Plan, the leadership team at VHCB and ANR are forming several key working and reference groups, including a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). Learn more about these groups under “Key Groups & Roles.”
