The strength of the Intervale community
Surveying crop loss by canoe after the flooding in July.
The Intervale's wetlands, forests, farm fields, and meadows are a unique resource for our community. Each year, more than 30,000 people visit the 360 acres that are managed by our Land Stewardship team to walk, run, ski, bike, garden, farm, learn, and connect.
Since the July flooding, our team has been working tirelessly to respond to the emergency by rebuilding riparian buffers, cleaning up trails, adapting our programs, and remaining open and responsive during a time of significant disruption to our operations.
After the flooding you rallied together, donating to Intervale-based farmers, and signing up to volunteer by the hundreds to harvest produce before the flood and clear debris after it. You proved, once again, just how strong our community really is, and we are so grateful.
““While we join in mourning the myriad losses brought on by flooding, our inspiration and resolve have burgeoned with the daily displays of support we receive from each other and our community; and the certitude of kinship and comradery that only farming, shared understanding, and hope for the future can provide.” ”
Our commitment to this place and our mission to strengthen community food systems in the face of climate change is unwavering, but we can't do it without you! Help us continue to lead the way for climate resilient agriculture and ecosystems in Vermont and keep this beautiful natural environment accessible to our community by giving a gift to the Intervale Center today.
