What is VTC?
The Vermont Traditions Coalition is a
group of traditional
land use organizations from around the State that came
together in 2001 as a direct result of the Champion Lands/West
Mountain land grab. VTC demanded a seat at the table of
Government and got it.
Since 2001VTC has led the fight to safeguard public access
to state and federal lands for hunting, fishing, snowmobiling,
trapping and other traditional recreational pursuits.
VTC is a powerful voice for our rural economy, supporting
and providing representation to the sporting, snowmobiling,
farming ,maple sugaring and forest products industries we all
depend on.
The Champion Lands debacle made it clear that State government
does not always act to protect our traditional heritage.
Well funded, extreme Environmental groups and some State
Leaders who do not understand what traditional land use
means to Vermont, are taking it away piece by piece, year by
year. Our rural land use traditions define VT’s history and
culture and the extremists want us out of the way. They want
us to make a living and recreate somewhere else.
Don’t let this happen!
The local sporting goods store is a great place to share
ideas, discuss your opinion and debate among your comrades,
but it’s not the battleground. The battleground is at the
State House, within the bureaucracy, and within the pages of
your local paper.
VTC is a public education organization that works to influence
public policy through research, speaking, writing,
statewide grass roots organization, and presence where it
counts.
You are the future and VTC needs your
help. Support VTC with your pledge, your time and your voice.
With your help we will become even more effective!
