Strategic Plan

Stowe Land Trust's Strategic Plan details the strategies to achieve our goals and is supported by a three-year action plan, the implementation of which is already underway.  This Plan also defines our mission, values and benchmarks that we will use to measure our success.  Most importantly, this Plan clarifies our commitment to land conservation in the greater Stowe community.

To guide our work and respond to the challenges before us, this Plan articulates five specific goals:

1.      CONSERVATION:  The essential character of the Stowe landscape is conserved through pro-active and responsive land protection. 

2.      STEWARDSHIP:  SLT conserved and owned properties are sustainably managed to protect their conservation values.

3.      FUNDRAISING:  SLT has sufficient funds to meet its conservation goals and fulfill its perpetual conservation obligations, stewardship obligations and annual operations.

4.      SOLID ORGANIZATION:  Effective people and systems throughout the organization provide direction, resources, and follow-through to support SLT’s mission.

5.      REPUTATION:  SLT has a solid reputation as an essential community institution.
