AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoWildlife: A study tracking loons on 3,421 lakes found fewer chicks raised across much of Canada and the northeastern U.S., including Vermont, raising concern about long-term population declines. Climate Risks: UVM researchers say Vermont is no longer a climate refuge. The state is warming faster than the global average; southeastern Vermont is nearly 5°F warmer than in 1900, with about 32 fewer inches of annual snowfall than in 1960. The assessment warns that aging infrastructure—including more than 100 century-old dams and vulnerable power poles—faces growing risks from floods and extreme weather. Conservation Careers: Four central Vermont nonprofits have launched a fellowship cohort to train early-career environmental workers in land and water conservation, ecological monitoring and nature-based programs.
