The Vermont Loon Recovery Project (VLRP) staff and volunteers, lake residents, boaters, and the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department have done a tremendous job in helping loons recover from fewer than 10 nesting pairs in the 1980s to over 60 nesting pairs annually since 2007. However, over 50% of loon nests are located in sites at high risk either to disturbance or potential habitat loss; most loons in Vermont nest on private lands. The VLRP is committed to promoting long-term conservation of Vermont’s Common
Loons, with a focus on lakeshores. Please help us.
