A Heartfelt Thank You

We lost our Old Dairy Barn on Sunday morning to a fire started by a lightning strike. It is an incredibly sad loss, but we were very fortunate that no animals or people were harmed. In the wake of the fire, we have received amazing support and sympathy from friends far and near. It means so much to us all. In response this outpouring, we have created a Resiliency Fund to honor the Barn and the lumber it held.

Celebrate the 38th Annual Harvest Festival

Of Land & Local: Water 

In our fourth year in partnership with Burlington City Arts, the 2016 Of Land & Local series considers water and all it means to us. We talked to artist in residence, Michael Zebrowski about his installations on Lone Tree Hill, at the Coach Barn, and on Lake Champlain. The show runs Sept 29-Oct. 23.

Climate Change Education

What does "climate literacy" mean? And what does instruction around such a critical, yet sensitive issue like climate change look like? At our Education for Sustainability Institute this past summer, we supported teachers with concrete tools and frameworks to explore real-world problems like climate change with their students. Find out how.
