Vermont Clean Water Network

Vermont Clean Water Network A group of non-profit organizations, government agencies, businesses and individuals working together Who needs to act and what should they do?

How can we ensure our water is fishable, swimmable and drinkable for years to come? Vermont Clean Water Network participants are collaborating to answer these critical questions and take action. In 2015, Voices for the Lake, a partnership of ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain and All Souls Interfaith Gathering, led a process to create an all encompassing understanding of Vermont’s water quality

issues. Through this process, more than 100 representatives from diverse organizations and agencies around Vermont created a system map that identifies key “levers” essential to fostering a culture of clean water. The Vermont Clean Water Network is comprised of five action teams guided by a Common Circle of representatives from each team. The Common Circle ensures teams are aligned and plans strategic opportunities for the network. Each team is engaged in 90-day project cycles to implement their action plan. The entire network meets at the end of each cycle to report on progress, set new plans and to allow individual groups align actions with other groups - Align, Act and Adjust.
