Natural Area Conservation

Vermonter’s connections to the land are closely tied to our State’s natural heritage. VHCB investments in land conservation help protect the State’s most important natural areas, from habitat for rare, threatened, and endangered species, to wetlands and floodplains that enhance the resiliency of our landscapes, to lands that provide critical habitat for wide-roaming animals and species that may need to move to cooler environments as the climate warms. VHCB protects those areas essential to our State's natural heritage, so that our most cherished natural areas remain accessible to future generations of Vermonters.
