Uced Text

Vermont H0070 proposes to include land enrolled in the Use Value Appraisal Program in the conserved land inventory.

Vermont H0070 amends the definition of conserved land to include land enrolled in the Use Value Appraisal Program. This change aims to integrate sustainable land management, agricultural land, and forestland into the conserved land inventory. The bill specifies that conserved land must be permanently protected and meet the criteria for ecological reserve areas, biodiversity conservation areas, or natural resource management areas. This inclusion supports Vermont's goal of conserving 30 percent of its land and achieving a 50 percent goal for conserved land.
