Reminder: this free event will be at the Highland Center for the Arts, Greensboro, Vermont.

Nearly 50 years ago two organizations emerged to address concerns about the need to balance economic growth with the protection of Vermont’s working lands and natural beauty. Today, the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board (VHCB) and the Vermont Land Trust (VLT) are at the forefront of statewide efforts to meet these persistent challenges. Join us for a conversation with Gus Seelig, VHCB Executive Director, and Tracy Zschau, VLT President & CEO as we explore approaches to balance Vermont’s needs amid ever-changing economic and ecological conditions.

This event is part of the 2025 Forestry and Conservation Series: Exploring the intersection of housing, conservation, and forests. The Craftsbury Outdoor Center and Headwaters Community Trust invite you to join them for free events exploring these questions and the role that forests can play in helping to find solutions.
