In 2013, Trapp Family Lodge and Stowe Land Trust aligned to form “Honor the Past, Preserve the Future,” a partnership focused on informing visitors and the Stowe community of the importance of protecting land for future generations.
Trapp Family Lodge guests donate $1 per occupied room night to assist with land conservation. To date, this partnership has raised almost $50,000 for Stowe Land Trust.
Four generations of von Trapps have set their roots in Stowe since 1942, owning and managing Trapp Family Lodge, continuing the tradition of active farming and forestry, and providing opportunities for visitors to get out and enjoy the mountains and valleys.
Johannes von Trapp helped establish Stowe Land Trust 29 years ago, and through this commitment, the family has permanently conserved over 1,500 acres.
“We are so fortunate to have the solid, ongoing support of the von Trapp family,” said Caitrin Maloney, executive director of Stowe Land Trust. “The impact of the partnership on our organization cannot be overstated. Not only does this support provide us with critical support for our operations, but it’s been inspiring to other donors. We are delighted and honored to continue to put these dollars to work for the good of the community.”
Stowe Land Trust has protected over 3,500 acres of land since 1987. Learn more at stowelandtrust.org.
