| Mission Description | The Vermont Land Trust works with individuals, organizations, and communities to conserve land for the future of Vermont. Since 1977, VLT has permanently conserved more than 495,000 acres. This land includes more than 685 working farms, hundreds of thousands of acres of productive forestland, and numerous parcels of community lands. This conservation work changes the lives of families, invigorates farms, launches new businesses, maintains scenic vistas, encourages recreational opportunities, and fosters a renewed sense of community. | MissionDescription |

| Description | Conservation WorkTo protect farms and forests from the pressures of development, the Vermont Land Trust uses conservation easements - a legal tool that limits development on productive farmland and forestland, and other meaningful natural and community places. While some landowners choose to donate their development rights, many others sell them for full or partial value. Landowners continue to own, manage, and pay taxes on the land and can sell their land; however, the conservation easement permanently remains on the property. | Description |

| Description | Stewardship WorkWhen the Vermont Land Trust conserves land, it promises to look after it forever. The more successful we are at conserving land, the greater our stewardship responsibility. Partnership is at the core of our stewardship program. In an average year, our stewardship staff will visit 100% of conserved parcels and meet with nearly 90 percent of the 1,300-plus owners of land conserved with VLT. During these visits with landowners, staff will often walk the land and discuss issues such as whether any significant land-use changes are planned. By building these relationships, we believe we reduce the number of violations of conservation easement terms. | Description |

| Description | Atlas Timberlands ProjectThe Atlas Timberlands Project is a joint undertaking of the Vermont Land Trust and the Nature Conservancy. Together, the two organizations own and manage approximately 23,000 acres of timberland in the northern Green Mountains. The management of this land provides direct experience with the challenges of owning and managing timberland for economic and biodiversity values. This experience has a direct impact on our ability to understand and address concerns of owners of conserved timberland. All of the land is open to the public for hiking, hunting, and other non-motorized recreation. | Description |
