To the Editor,
For the Vermont Land Trust, land conservation has always been about more than simply protecting land. When Rick Carbin founded the organization in 1977, he was already thinking about housing and economic development as well as the preservation of farm and forest land. The value of building connections between land, people, and communities remains at the forefront of the organization today, despite the myriad new challenges that our land, our communities, and our state now face.
