You are invited to get your hands dirty for a good cause: VCPI is partnering with the Vermont Land Trust to help plant 1,000 trees! We know direct action is one of the most effective and engaging responses to eco-anxiety.

While many Vermont farms raise cows, sheep, or goats, LedgEnd Farm is unique in that it raises fallow deer. This conserved farm is in Middlebury along the Muddy Branch. Planting trees along the water will increase wildlife habitat, reduce invasive species presence, and support clean water.

In celebration of Green Up Day, VCPI and friends are volunteering  on May 10 from 9 AM – 1 PM. We will have some extra shovels and gloves there, but if you have your own, please bring them. Also, consider bringing sturdy waterproof shoes, a sunhat, water, bug repellant, and snacks. Be sure to dress for the weather. We’ll bring the trees, provide lunch, and of course share lots of gratitude! Learn more and register here.
