Planting Guidelines for Agency of Natural Resources Lands 2025; VT Fish & WIldlife
The Planting Guidelines for ANR Lands were developed into a single, cohesive document to
provide a guide for the most common planting project types on state lands. These guidelines provide
clear instructions for the review and evaluation of planting projects. While we acknowledge that project goals can vary widely across different management activities, this document serves as a foundational framework and addresses the need for overarching guidance. These guidelines can be adapted and refined to develop more specific recommendations tailored to varying objectives and project outcomes. A broad-based approach ensures a streamlined and standardized process for all planting projects for herbaceous, shrub, and tree species and is the first of its kind.
These guidelines aim to increase the use of native plants in proposed projects while providing specific
guidance for different project types, such as climate and pest and pathogen adaptation, ecosystem
restoration, research, landscaping, and erosion control.
