Conservation

The Vermont constitution has protected the right to hunt, fish and trap on open, private land since its drafting in 1793.

Posting laws and regulations honor this commitment while also ensuring landowners have the protections they need to control their property.

If you care leave them there! If you find a young animal or bird that appears to be abandoned, do not pick it up.

Project WILD is one of the most widely-used conservation and environmental education programs among educators of students. Its focus is wildlife education.

Trout in the Classroom (TIC) program brings the science of Vermont's aquatic ecosystems into schools across the state.

The Let’s Go Fishing Program is a network of volunteer instructors who encourage and teach youth and adults how to fish on behalf of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department.
