As a part of our locally-led conservation planning efforts, conservation districts are advised to complete a Natural Resources Assessment. Conducted every few years, this assessment seeks to record the unique natural resources in our area and the types of resource concerns present.

Assessing the local natural resources assets and condition is one of the core statutory responsibilities of Vermont Natural Resources Conservation Districts. NRCDs use these assessments to build work plans and program development to facilitate conservation projects from data collection, to project development, to implementation to address natural resource concerns in the county. 

In 2024, we updated our Natural Resource Assessments. Some of the highlights are below. You can link to the full document here.
