The Stowe Land Trust just release an informational video about their cause. The idea was to show what it is they (and we all) love about Vermont and also to showcase a number of the properties they’ve been able to protect over the years.

In honor of Earth Day they released the video in order to raise awareness about the Earth’s environment! Go to their website to check it out and learn more about the Stowe Land Trust. (Stowe Land Trust Video, Click Here)

Saying Goodbye to the Stowe Land Trust

I have just finished thirteen years as a member of the Stowe Land Trust board. It has been an exciting time in Stowe to be part of this wonderful organization. We have conserved over 3,000 acres and have just completed out 27 th project. I have personally been a major part of the fund raising efforts to preserve these projects. I have seen the organization grow from one executive director to a staff of three. We have became an accredited land trust as of 2008. This was a daunting feet, with the final document weighing in at 48 pounds.

I cannot thank my fellow board members and the SLT staff enough. Without the direction of Heather Furman, our executive director, Becca Washburn assistant director, and Erin Bruhns, administrative assistant the Stowe Land Trust would not be the organization it is today. They all work tirelessly to help the Board and to meet with potential donors while attending site walks, and fund raising functions. ,It has been a good run and I have enjoyed every minute. But now it is time for new members to take over and bring new and creative ideas to energize the organization.

The environment and the habitats that it protects have been a life long mission of mine. I have been on the Vermont Nature Conservancy, the Stowe Conservation Board and the Stowe Land Trust. I will continue to support these organizations.

I have been a long time board member of the Stowe Land Trust. It has been our goal to conserve scenic, recreational, and productive farm and forest lands for the benefit of the greater Stowe Community.

We put our head together and came up with the idea of having a flea market to fund raise for our cause. What better way to continue our goals of conservation and clear out our basements! We’re jumping on the GREEN train and what you to join US!
