Policy and Advocacy in Vermont

Advocacy for Birds and People

For decades, Audubon Vermont has worked to protect birds, habitats, and the people who care about them. From forests, shrublands and wetlands to sugarbushes and farms, we work across the state. Through conservation efforts on working lands and wild lands, technical assistance for landowners, and education and community building at Green Mountain Audubon Center, we are building lasting solutions that benefit both people and wildlife. Our advocacy work drives policies that protect critical habitats, safeguard biodiversity, and advance climate resilience.

We advocate for science-based policies that: 

• Address the impacts of climate change on communities, wildlife, and ecosystems
• Protect Vermont’s birds, habitats, and natural communities
• Protect water and land through conservation and land use strategies
• Provide landowners with tools to maintain healthy bird and wildlife populations
• Expand access to nature for all Vermonters
• Support underserved and climate-vulnerable communities
• Secure funding for conservation and education through nonpartisan efforts
