The Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas ProjectMore information about how we’re organized within the non=profit Vermont Family Forests is on our Support and Funding page.
Thank you for your interest in Vermont's reptiles and amphibians!
Our Mission: The Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas Project collects and disseminates data needed to make informed recommendations regarding the state status, state rank, and conservation of Vermont’s reptiles and amphibians. With the help of volunteers, collaborations with conservation organizations, and staff members, we are continuing to collect information and broaden our knowledge base regarding the natural history, distribution, and effective conservation of Vermont’s Reptiles and Amphibians. The ultimate goal of the Atlas is to gather and disseminate the data that are needed on the reptiles and amphibians of Vermont in a way that involves and informs Vermont individuals and organizations so that they can become more informed and effective stewards of wildlife habitat.
Vermont Woods Studios donated 15% of profits from all furniture purchased between Earth Day and Summer Solstice 2009 to non-profits that benefit forest conservation.
That included us! Thanks, Vermont Woods Studios!
Become Involved: Realize how little we actually know about the distribution of Vermont's Reptiles & Amphibians, and how easily you can help! We welcome your help in all its forms: contributing records individually or as organizations, funding, and through education. Take a look at our calendar, then join us at an event nearby and find out about conferences, guided walks, and much more.
The Atlas: All of our species maps now include data through the end of 2010. Thank you to every observer and contributor out there! These maps are being added online, and are linked through our overall list and within each species information page.
Background Information: Learn more about Vermont Herpetology and its history in Vermont here on our website. Purchase a reference Poster (on sale for half-price this holiday season!) and a fascinating DVD for your home, classroom, school, library, or scout group. Read about us in the news. Explore our site’s extensive extras.
This site provides an important resource for people interested in Vermont's Reptiles and Amphibians, and their conservation. It presents what we know today about the distribution of individual species in Vermont, and identifies gaps in this knowledge. Beyond this, we hope to encourage people to help fill in the many gaps remaining in our records. We also hope to stimulate and support research and conservation initiatives throughout the state.
We would also like to both recognize and thank our financial supporters; without their contributions this important conservation work would not be possible. We also appreciate the Vermont Book Shop for making our posters and DVD more widely available.
