WOODSTOCK, VT — U.S. Senator Peter Welch (D-Vt.) today met with students from Woodstock Union High School about his work in Congress and the importance of civic engagement. While at King Farm, Senator Welch also met with the Vermont Land Trust (VLT) and discussed the introduction of new legislation led by the Vermont Congressional Delegation to extend the boundary of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park to include the King Farm, which is currently owned by VLT.  

“Our kids in Vermont are smart, thoughtful, and engaged—they’re going to go on to do incredible work in our communities and change the world in the process. I’m always encouraged when I talk with our students,” said Senator Welch. “This community-based bill our Delegation is leading will conserve our state’s history and foster new educational partnerships for students in Woodstock and across Vermont.”  

Senator Welch was joined by Tracy Zschau, President, Vermont Land Trust; Abby White, Vice President of Engagement, Vermont Land Trust; Pieter Bohen, Cotyledon Fund; and Jason Drebitko, Green Mountain Foundation.
