We’re a hardworking, homegrown group that depends on people like you. Over the past 34 years, we’ve protected over 500 parcels of land and more than 52,000 acres. Thousands of people have participated in these accomplishments and in the ongoing stewardship of conserved properties. It takes all of us, working together, to choose a vibrant, resilient and sustainable future for the Upper Valley — and to make it happen.
Indigenous People have cared for this land for centuries. The lands that the Upper Valley Land Trust owns, conserves, and works on, and the land on which we all live, are the traditional, ancestral, unceded homelands of the indigenous people of the Abenaki Nation, a tribe of the Wabanaki Confederacy.
Indigenous People are not gone, they live here and are a part of the past, present, and future of our land and our communities. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Abenaki people, past and present.

Happy Field Notes Friday! 🐦🦆
This week Alexander van Engelen, UVLT Land Steward, shares with us his recent bird sightings while out on various conservation lands throughout the Upper Valley. From a Golden-crowned kinglet to a Copper`s Hawk, Alexander shows us that there are still plenty of birds to spot in the Winter!
This weekend also happens to be Cornell Lab of Ornithology annual Great Backyard Bird Count event! Spend time in your favorite places watching birds from February 14th - 17th, then identify them, count them, and submit your counts to help scientists better understand and protect birds around the world. If you already use eBird or Merlin, your submissions over the 4 days count toward GBBC.
Happy Birding!!

This week Jason Berard, Vice President of Stewardship, takes us on a walk through the woods where he came across a plethora of #animaltracks and signs! With all the fresh snow we have received this week, tracking conditions should be near perfect throughout the weekend.
In the video, Jason uses the term "subnivean zone" when describing the ruffed grouse`s roosting spot (also known as `snow roosting`). The subnivean zone is the area between the surface of the ground and the bottom of the snowpack. The word subnivean comes from the Latin “sub” (under) and “nives” (snow). Other animals, like mice and voles, take advantage of the insulation the subnivean zone provides by creating tunnels and spending most of the winter in them.
