Led by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, the Vermont Teaming with Wildlife Coalition includes wildlife biologists, hunters & anglers, birdwatchers, hikers, nature-based businesses and other conservationists.
Vermont’s Diverse Lands, Waters, and Wildlife
Vermont’s landscape is a tapestry of mountains, valleys, woods and wetlands. It is Vermont’s natural landscape that enriches the lives of those who live and visit here. It is this same landscape that provides Vermonters with clean air, clean water, and habitat for thousands of species of plants and animals. 97 percent of Vermont residents surveyed in a 2001 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service public opinion survey indicated that it is important to them that ecologically important habitats and lands in Vermont are protected. Fortunately, if we invest in the new Vermont Wildlife Action Plan today, we can conserve wildlife and vital natural areas for future generations.
A Powerful Coalition to Conserve our Wildlife Heritage
More than 25 organizations and businesses from across Vermont have come together to spread the word about the Vermont Wildlife Action Plan and to secure the funding it needs for success. YOU CAN HELP by joining the coalition, engaging organizations in your community and urging our elected officials to support the federal State Wildlife Grants Program and legislation providing long-term, dedicated federal and state funding for wildlife conservation and related education and recreation.
