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!
