Middlebury Area Land Trust

Middlebury Area Land Trust (MALT) is a 501(c)3 non-profit guided by a core set of values that shape and inform our decisions, policies, and strategies. Our mission: Working with our community to conserve natural and productive landscapes, and to enhance scenic, recreational, and educational opportunities. Since 1987, MALT has worked in Addison County with communities and partners to ensure the well-being and long-term viability of the area’s natural and human communities. While what we do and who is involved may change over time, these principles continue to guide us: MALT dedicates our work to the ecological integrity of this place: the interconnected people, lands, and waters west of the Green Mountains and east of Lake Champlain. We are one community in the heart of Vermont, Addison County. MALT approaches the opportunities and challenges of our work in a spirit of pragmatic optimism. We collaborate with individuals, organizations, and communities, believing in our capacity to teach and learn from one another. We are grounded in our roots – connecting physically with our lands and trails, hands dirty and boots muddy.
