On climate change, the Vermont Chapter has become a go-to source of information, particularly after the release of the report, "Climate Change in the Champlain Basin." With a lack of ice on Lake Champlain and lack of snow across Vermont this winter, journalists are focusing on the issue and turning to Conservancy scientists for answers.
