Since 2016 (so for ten years now!) we have granted day-use passes to organizations working state-wide.


Through these organizations, VPF helps foster families, youth programs, those with developmental disabilities, BIPOC communities, new Americans, mental health clients, and those with limited mobility, have more opportunities to experience all Vermont’s state parks have to offer.
