Welcome to the
Vermont Agency of Natural Resources web site

The more than six hundred scientists and professionals at the agency are dedicated to protecting and improving the health of Vermont’s people and ecosystems and promoting the sustainable use of Vermont’s natural resources. Through our three departments – the Department of Environmental Conservation, the Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation – the agency serves as a focal point for environmental protection. Please explore the web site to learn more about what we’re doing on behalf of Vermont’s environment.
