Birds of Vermont

Our Technical Leadership Leads the Way

³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Vermont works directly with landowners, foresters, and natural resource partners to support habitat management and policy that benefits birds in Vermont and along the Atlantic Flyway.  We provide:

  • Technical assistance for public and private landowners
  • Workshops and trainings
  • Demonstration habitat management sites
  • Promotion of public policies and programs that protect Vermont’s forests and wildlife

We Follow the Science

Sound science forms the foundation of all we do at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Vermont. Whether we are educating the next generation of conservationists at the Green Mountain ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Center, managing the Common Terns on our sanctuaries on Lake Champlain or providing testimony to the state legislature on an environmental bill, we strive to use the best available science to protect our great natural heritage.
