We engage people in the vision and process of land conservation and in the stewardship of conserved lands. UVLT provides conservation leadership, tools and expertise to permanently protect the working farms, forests, wildlife habitat, water resources, trails and scenic landscapes that surround residential areas and commercial centers and make the Upper Valley a truly special place to live. Our conservation projects secure the mixture of land uses that are so critical to the region’s vitality and identity. We work with local conservation commissions and volunteer groups to identify and prioritize land conservation opportunities. We steward permanent agreements that conserve key properties forever. UVLT focuses its land conservation activities in 45 Vermont and New Hampshire towns in the Upper Connecticut River Valley. These include Bradford, Cavendish, Chelsea, Corinth, Fairlee, Hartford, Hartland, Newbury, Norwich, Pomfret, Reading, Royalton, Ryegate, Sharon, Springfield, Strafford, Thetford, Topsham, Tunbridge, Vershire, Weathersfield, West Fairlee, West Windsor, Windsor, and Woodstock in VT, and Bath, Canaan, Charlestown, Claremont, Cornish, Croydon, Dorchester, Enfield, Grafton, Grantham, Hanover, Haverhill, Lebanon, Lyme, Newport, Orange, Orford, Piermont, Plainfield, and Unity in NH.
