The best things take time to grow, including our 2025 Vermont Habitat Stamp Report! The report is ready and we're excited to share what Habitat Stamp supporters helped make possible last year. In 2025, 14,319 donors helped conserve and restore crucial wildlife habitat, including expanding a WMA to include several uncommon plants and an uncommon natural community, building the capacity of private landowners to make meaningful benefits on their property, and connecting high-priority trout habitat, among many other beneficial impacts.

If you'd like to support the fund, it's not too late to pick up your 2026 Habitat Stamp, either when you buy a hunting or fishing license or directly on our website. And if you've been a supporter, stay tuned for a brand new stamp design coming in 2027. 👀
