Watersheds United Vermont (WUV) is a state-wide network of local groups dedicated to the health of their home watersheds.
WUV's mission is to empower community-based watershed groups in all parts of the state to protect and restore Vermont’s waters.
Watershed Groups are broadly defined as a community-based organization working with individuals and communities in their local watersheds to protect and improve water quality, habitat, and flood resilience and to build social and ecological connections with Vermont’s waters. Watershed organizations work with all watershed constituents and do not represent a specific constituency or interest group.

We support community-based action to improve watershed health by:
- Sharing information and resources among existing watershed groups;
- Offering workshops and networking sessions to share best practices on topics of interest;
- Leveraging resources to expand the capacity of new or existing groups;
- Providing information and coordination for groups who want to participate in the policy-making process;
- Linking watershed associations with partners who can provide technical, financial, or other assistance.
