Vermont has no verified graduate program called the “Green Mountain Conservation Master’s” in Burlington. That name appears to be invented. The real “Green Mountain Conservation Camp” is a summer program for children, run by the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The camp offers week-long overnight sessions at two sites: Buck Lake in Woodbury and Kehoe Camp at Lake Bomoseen in Castleton. Sessions are divided into girls’ and boys’ weeks. Campers learn about fish, wildlife, ecology, botany, and forestry, along with outdoor first aid and firearm safety. Activities include fishing, archery, canoeing, and swimming.
Students who want a graduate degree in conservation should look at real options, such as master’s programs in natural resources, ecology, or environmental science at accredited universities. Check each school’s catalog for admission requirements, curriculum, and faculty before applying.
Vermont’s public lands and wildlife offer real field experience for conservation students, but the learning must come from a real school. Compare programs through our articles on wildlife biology in Montana, rainforest conservation in Guyana, and island biodiversity in Mauritius, and read our guide on how to select the right graduate program.
