Vermont Family Forests runs a very lean operation to carry out all the work we do to cultivate mutually beneficial relationship with the forests of home. We rely on grants and donations to do this work. While we have some designated grant funds that offset costs for specific programs, like our Colby Hill Ecological Project research, your individual donation helps us continue to imagine, carry out, and facilitate ecologically sound, ethical, economically viable forest conservation through workshops, community conversations, lending library of forestry tools, demonstration projects, celebrations, and more.
