Vermont Environmental Collaborative
The Vermont Environmental Collaborative (VEC) consists of 11 statewide environmental and conservation organizations. These groups come together to determine which environmental and conservation issues are the most critical to address in the upcoming legislative session.
Once this process is completed, VLCVEF - VLCV's sister organization - creates the Common Agenda, which is a set of shared legislative priorities for the 11 endorsing organizations.
The VEC's mission is: To protect and enhance the health of Vermont’s environment, the Vermont Environmental Collaborative brings together the conservation community and builds political power to translate our priorities into legislative action.
