Charlotte

Chartered in 1762, Charlotte is situated on the shore of Lake Champlain 25 minutes South of Burlington.

The town is home to the small and growing villages of East and West Charlotte with corner stores, a library, a Grange, and a Senior Center.

Charlotte boasts a large network of working farms and forests. From sugarbushes, orchards, and dairies, to berry farms, a winery, market gardens, livestock operations, honey houses, and community supported agriculture, Charlotte has a thriving local food economy.

Charlotte also has many scenic landscapes, community trails, a park, and a wildlife refuge - not to mention the first state park in Vermont, Mt. Philo.

The Town of Charlotte and area conservation groups use this interactive planning map tool with data reports (click on the “i” button on the tool bar to view the reports of your interest area). This land use planning tool was developed for the Town of Charlotte by the Charlotte Conservation Commission and its map team that includes Jens Hilke of Vt Fish and Wildlife, Matt Kolan (consulting ecologist), Jesse Mohr (consulting ecologist), Larry Hamilton (Town Tree Warden), Pam Brangan (Chittenden County Planning Commission) and Marty Illick (Lewis Creek Association).The planning principles used for this municipal map align with the planning principles used for the Lewis Creek Watershed Conservation Priority Planning Project (http://www.lewiscreek.org/library-projects). These science based planning principles are widely accepted and are endorsed by the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources.
