This is our Path
Move Forward Together Vermont is our state’s strategic vision for strengthening Vermont’s outdoor recreation economy for the next five years and beyond. The plan envisions the development of healthy and vibrant communities through actions that consider equity and climate resilience and support:
- Stewardship – promote care for parks, trails and water access, the environment, and the organizations and people who manage outdoor recreation.
- Wellness – support the physical and mental health of outdoor recreation participation, and the ability of people to access the outdoors.
- Economic Development – strengthen opportunities for outdoor organizations and businesses to expand entrepreneurship, learning and innovation.
The plan relies on the engagement and collaboration of outdoor recreation planners, providers, funders, businesses and users. Together, we will support the health of our outdoor places, the wellness of our people, and the economic strength of our communities.
Move Forward Together Vermont Final Report
The Move Forward Together Vermont Report brings together the voices of thousands of people who provided input through focus groups, surveys, webinars and open houses between 2023 and 2024 and unites them into a robust vision and set of priority actions. The report contains a summary of the planning process, descriptions of the data gathered and detailed information about the vision and priority actions. It will serve as Vermont’s Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan through 2030.
We collected significant amounts of data through the Move Forward Together Vermont planning process. All Report Materials and Appendices are available for download. Survey data is also available upon request.
