Don is a Project Director in southwest Vermont, working with landowners and communities on new conservation projects, and helping to ensure the protection of lands that have already been conserved. He joined VLT in 2002, after working at Shelburne Farms, Butternut Mountain Farm, The Land Concern, and the U.S. Forest Service. Committed to both community planning and conservation, Don has been part of Bennington’s select board, planning commission, regional commission, and local non-profits focusing on food systems, outdoor recreation and education. With his wife and daughters, Don chases a few sheep around his historic family farmstead in Bennington and plays the banjo in his spare time.
EmailChrista serves as our Director of Donor Relations, responsible for major gifts and planned giving. She joined VLT in 2011, after working in Burlington as an investment advisor and retirement planner. A native Vermonter, she brings 30 years of experience working or volunteering on behalf of land and wildlife conservation. Christa especially loves connecting with people about VLT’s work and our impact on farming, forestry, climate, and recreation. She is the person to contact if you’re interested in making a donation to protect the Vermont you love—either an immediate gift, a gift of land, or a planned gift. When not on the phone or on the road, she is horseback riding, running, or skiing through her favorite town of Richmond.
EmailAs one of the longest tenured employees, Chris has seen and experienced VLT’s evolution first-hand. He joined in 1999 as a summer intern and served in six roles since then. Today, he makes maps, manages databases, and makes sure all of VLT’s data sources connect with one another. His favorite conservation project is the next one we complete. Outside of work, Chris is an amateur gardener and even more amateur carpenter.
