Our Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas Fundraiser for 2023 is Beginning

Herpers and all wildlife lovers, it is time for our:

2023 Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas Fundraiser

Four years ago we organized our first fundraiser.  It was motivated by a decline in our regular grant funding, a pressing need to get all our data online for future use, and to assign accurate latitude and longitude coordinates to older records.  The fundraiser was a huge success, so we tried it again the following year.  We now hold annual winter fundraisers in hopes of raising $25,000 to support Herp Atlas projects that are not adequately funded by our grants.  Visit our website at VtHerpAtlas.org to learn more.

The 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.

To see our full fundraising letter showing our goals, recent accomplishments, and recent awards, please take a look at our attached annual Herp Atlas Fundraising Letter (PDF).

We hope you will contribute!
