VT ANR Lands Management Planning Rule
The Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) has released a draft rule to guide the management planning process for lands owned and managed by ANR. This public comment period precedes the formal rulemaking process, which the Agency expects to initiate in 2025.
ANR owns and manages approximately 375,000 acres of public lands across the State of Vermont through its three departments: the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation (FPR); Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department (FWD); Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Management plans are the guiding documents that determine how these public lands are managed and that outline the approach for balancing these different demands on and for our state lands, as well as meet our stewardship goals and strategies to achieve them.
Learn more about the draft management planning rule and how to provide public comment.
DEADLINE FOR COMMENTS IS November 1, 2024.
