This site is a collection of conservation success stories from across Vermont. It is the first archive of local conservation successes, and we hope it will inspire and serve as a reference for local action in the future.

Submitting a Story

Have you contributed towards a successful conservation project? Has your commission made a difference in the community? Conservation commissions are doing varied work; to be sure, no two CCs have the same level of professional knowledge and experience, capacity, responsibilities or authority.  For some, organizing a successful Green Up day or volunteer tree planting is the main project for the year. Other commissions might be working with the town planning commission on updating the town plan or a new zoning code. It doesn’t matter how small or large in scope, we want to hear about it! Your experiences are useful for other commissions to learn from, so please submit your story today.

Please use this Google Form to let us know about your work.  You may also submit a story directly to our website or email the details to the AVCC Board and we’ll post it for you.
