Hello PVLT Members and Friends!

Please join us at our Annual Meeting on Saturday, January 24th from 3-5 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at 47 Cherry St in Saint Johnsbury!

The Passumpsic watershed and the communities that dot our valleys and line our riparian areas have been faced with devastating flooding, especially in the last two years. Building flood resilience in our community means investing in large infrastructure projects and big, bold conservation. It also requires conserving small parcels that allow the river to breathe and carve its own path in the landscape without our interference. This is where organizations like the Passumpsic Valley Land Trust shine. Just as diversity is important in the natural world, diversity - in size, scope, and structure - is important in our conservation ecosystem. The Passumpsic Valley Land Trust can take on conservation projects that fit our unique mission and capacity, and we can often step in when larger land trusts are unable to take on a small but worthy project.

Does the Passumpsic Valley Land Trust want to grow to help better meet our mission? Can we? If we want to grow - either in size or capacity - how do we do so sustainably? Please join us at our annual meeting on Saturday, January 24th 2026 for community and conversation centered on the theme of - what is the future of the Passumpsic Valley Land Trust, and how do we get there?

We’ll hear from Gus Goodwin, Senior Conservation Planner at The Nature Conservancy Vermont Chapter about why the Passumpsic watershed is such an important area to conserve. We’ll also be joined by Gannon Osborn, Director of Resilient & Connected Lands at The Nature Conservancy Vermont Chapter, to discuss how other small land trusts in Vermont are grappling with their future. We certainly won’t make any big, bold, final decisions, but we’d love to start the conversation with you.

Sharing a bit late, but better than never! The PVLT Board, with Brian Lamoreaux spearheading, pulled together the 3rd annual Big Ol River Event in the form of a river cleanup on the Passumpsic in the St. J area a few weeks ago. The crack team of volunteers and board members pulled over 140 tires and assorted other trash out of the river, including several traffic cones!
Huuuuge shout out to for providing boats and expertise in the removal of large amounts of river trash! Also ginormous thanks to , , , , , and for all of the support, monetary and otherwise, without which this would have never been possible!

"On July 10 the Passumpsic River flooded again. As I looked at the raging river at the spot in East Burke where PVLT removed the dam, I thought how glad I was that we didn't have to worry about the danger of the dam breaking and causing greater damage down river."
