Policy

The Vermont Goat Collaborative at Pine Island Farm is an example of a local project completed by the Vermont Land Trust. The Land Trust worked with advocates for the new American community to procure this land on the Winooski river to raise the bucklings that are a by product of Vermont's prolific goat dairy business. These goats are raised under the care of Nepalese and Bhutanese refugees who have resettled in the Burlington and Winooski areas. Goat meat is a mainstay in their religious and cultural practices.
