Summary
The measure changes Vermont’s legal definition of conserved land to include parcels that participate in the Use Value Appraisal program. Those lands would be counted toward the state’s 30% and 50% conservation acreage goals. By expanding the inventory, the bill seeks to recognize more land that is managed sustainably and protected from conversion.
