Values & Goals
Mission
Working to make Vermont a more humane place for wildlife.
Vision
-
We envision a time when wildlife will be valued based on its intrinsic value and afforded better protections.
-
We serve as a voice to counter those who choose to exploit wildlife for their own interests.
-
We educate the public about the impact that personal and political decisions have on wildlife.
-
We seek to change the wildlife governance paradigm in Vermont to ensure that a broad range of voices are heard, not just those who hunt or trap.
Who We Are
Our team of volunteers is comprised of biologists, wildlife rehabilitators, educators, and other professionals who seek better protections for wildlife. We collaborate with nonprofits, both local and national, to ensure we are all working together to offer the best outcomes.
