Support and Funding

The Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas is an independent program, working in partnership with many organizations and individuals. Although space is generously provided by Middlebury College for this effort, all our funds come from outside grants, contributions, and the sale of posters and atlases.

If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution (Middlebury College is a 501(c)3 organization) in any amount, please make a check payable to Middlebury College and send it to Jim Andrews or Erin Talmage at

We need your support for our reptile and amphibian conservation, outreach education, and mapping efforts.
