To the Editor,
The United States is losing 6,000 acres of open space to development every day, according to the Trust for Public Land. The Vermont Land Trust is working to protect open space, which is one of the best ways to stop climate change. Over the past decade, VLT, which get most of its funding from taxpayers all over Vermont, has focused its efforts much more heavily in the northern part of the state, versus the four southern counties of Vermont.
