We are currently working alongside university and community partners for the development of our community mapping project. The map will function to inform Burlington's residents and visitors of the natural, cultural, and green living resources of Burlington. It will be an especially useful aid for the individual looking to incorporate more environmentally-friendly choices into their lifestyle. A community mapping project will also generate citizen participation for the purpose of environmental planning for Burlington.
Burlington, VT is located along the eastern shore of Lake Champlain in northwest Vermont. It is the smallest U.S. city that is also the largest city in its state. The city is 15.5 square miles in area and has a population of 206,000. Burlington is a college town. It is also a walkable city, home to Church Street Marketplace.
Our vision is of a vibrant, productive Burlington in which community development promotes human interaction, food producing residential gardens and streetscapes supplant suburban lawns, and the abundance of social, educational, economic, and ecological services our community produces helps to regenerate other degraded landscapes.
