Vermont Natural Resources Council is a Vermont-based nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing the state’s natural environments, rural character, productive working landscapes, vibrant communities, and sense of place. It pursues these aims through research, education, collaboration, and advocacy, linking scientific understanding with community action and policy engagement. The group works with a broad network of stakeholders—including river and fish biologists, anglers, freshwater advocates, community members, and regulators—to support rivers that sustain fish populations, improve recreational access, and better withstand flooding, helping Vermont prepare for future challenges and opportunities.

Based in Montpelier, VNRC operates as a relatively small nonprofit within the environmental sector. A notable recent development is the launch of an online dam tracking tool in April 2026, created in collaboration with the Dam Task Force to support river restoration, fish habitat, recreational access, and flood resilience. The organization has also pursued public engagement initiatives, including partnerships and statewide activities that connect community members, organizers, legislators, and conservation groups around environmental policy. Together, these efforts illustrate VNRC’s role as a collaborative, evidence-informed voice in Vermont’s environmental landscape.
