The Institute works with its partners to provide educational programs that expand the knowledge of conservation stewardship and strengthen citizenship skills.

"This course has rekindled my soul and passion for teaching. It has made it meaningful again. I am so grateful for the vision, the inspiration, the follow through and the commitment and knowledge that the partners have channeled through us. " - Lauren Ashley, Academy School, Brattleboro, Vermont


"Students need knowledge and awareness—but they also need to actively participate. In the forests and communities of our own backyards, all the issues of sustainability and stewardship can be illustrated and become real for students." - Megan Camp, vice president of Shelburne Farms
