We are a home-grown and growing group of volunteers who are committed to working alongside nature to protect and care for the land.We are creating a space for people who care about the Pine Street Barge Canal to work together and in partnership with the land. 

• We have a sense of responsibility for the damage done and appreciation for what the land has contributed to Burlington’s prosperity. 

• We are aware that our relationship with land, with nature, is reciprocal, that we get more than we give, especially as we work together. 

• We want the Barge Canal to be a place of community with all the inhabitants of the land and water, and to connect with ourselves and with each other.  

• We have non-profit, tax-exempt status through the State of Vermont and the Federal government so we are able to raise funds for the work that we do.
