Mission

VCE advocates for the wellbeing of all Vermonters, striving for the protection of the natural world: land, air, water, wildlife, people, and especially the web of life.

We unite to pursue the common goals of encouraging economic development with minimal environmental impacts and preserving Vermont’s natural beauty.

We inspire and engage citizens in longterm planning for sustainable economic, environmental, telecom and energy policies that will benefit Vermont communities and Mother Earth.
