Willowell Foundation is a small nonprofit organization focused on exploring the connections among farming, community, ecology, and education on a rural property in Vermont. Located on a 230-acre site in Monkton, it develops programs that integrate environmental learning with school curricula and community initiatives, including partnerships with Vergennes High School and the Willowell Garden. The foundation supports school-based activities such as outdoor education, wetland ecology projects, native plantings to restore wildlife habitat, and farm-to-school efforts, as well as programs like animal tracking and artist residencies. Its work targets students and local communities, offering experiential learning opportunities that emphasize ecological restoration and sustainable land stewardship. In addition to hosting flagship programs, Willowell organizes events and initiatives that engage hundreds of Vermont students and community participants in hands-on environmental education. The organization is based in Vergennes, Vermont, and operates within the strategic management services space, aligning environmental education with community development.
