What does Vermont mean to you?
Vermont is a place I call home, it is a peaceful, green, and non-industrial state.
What common values do Vermonters share?
Their love of nature. Most Vermonters cannot stand large cities and love living almost in the wilderness.
What challenges and opportunities do we see for our communities and state?
Our cities are starting to get larger and look like what citizens from other states would call 'real' cities. Citizens from other states are starting to buy land and build houses in Vermont because it seems untouched by urban life. The more 'outsiders' that come to Vermont, the more urban Vermont becomes.
What should our priorities be as we work together to prepare Vermont for the future?
Preserving the vast wildlife of Vermont. There may not be as wide a variety of species as in some areas, but we have a larger population:land ratio than most states for many of the animals that life in Vermont.
