In the past, the SRA has undertaken many projects, ranging from salmon habitat restoration to lobbying (successfully) for flood plain zoning and protection. Our efforts are concentrated on protecting and restoring salmon habitat, reconnecting fragmented salmon habitat, rebuilding salmon habitats through restocking, and educating the public through our two educational in-classroom programs River Rangers and Fish Friends. We are also working on developing a watershed management plan for the Sackville River Watershed, based on our existing Sackville River Ecosystem Plan (SREP). The expertise used to design and implement the protection, restoration activities and education materials comes from our volunteer membership, assistance from government staff at all levels, donated time from local consultant firms, and summer students when funding is available for them. Using this approach we have been quite successful to date.

We are a small group of inspired individuals who believe in the power of motivation and courage. We believe that even a smallest support can significantly transform someone else’s future. We are focusing our charitable effort on providing help to orphaned children.

Our mission is to educate and advocate for the practices of productive stewardship, use, and enjoyment of Vermont's forests.
