Join us today to learn about the Vermont River Conservancy!

Our speaker, Amanda Garland, first joined VRC as River Steward for their 2023 summer season and is now the full-time Stewardship Coordinator, where she continues to care for VRC sites via field-based easement monitoring and land stewardship projects. Amanda has a BA in Environmental Science, with an emphasis on Terrestrial Ecology, and graduate-level study in conservation ethics, ecology, and natural resource management at UVM’s Rubenstein School. Backed by her rich experience as a service project leader, park ranger, trails manager, and conservation educator, Amanda brings enthusiasm and a can-do sense of adventure to everything she does. She loves hiking and monitoring the beautiful properties conserved by Vermont River Conservancy, envisioning how they can be best protected and utilized, and working directly with landowners and community members to engage them in hands-on work supporting our conservation goals. 

Amanda is a local Vermonter who lives in Barre in a house she built (and continues to improve upon) with her own two hands! She loves planting trees and gardening and has a passion for long-distance paddling. She’s completed all but one section of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, saving the Allagash Wilderness for last!

We all know at least someone who would benefit from CVAE services, and as businesses are seeking qualified candidates, CVAE can help to fill those positions.
