MONTPELIER, Vt.--()--The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife has launched the Vermont Outdoors mobile application, a new tool to help citizens and visitors explore outdoor recreational opportunities in ways that meet COVID-19 pandemic safety practices.

Built in partnership with the state’s digital government services partner, NIC Vermont, the mobile app provides a wide offering of features, including interactive maps, and enables users to easily access policy information and guidelines for activities, such as hunting, trapping, fishing, boating and hiking in Vermont.

“Vermont Outdoors is an exciting way for us to let Vermonters and others know how to experience our great wildlife recreation opportunities safely,” said Louis Porter, Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife. “From hunters to anglers to birdwatchers, those who want to experience Vermont’s wildlife and wild places can carry an up-to-date guide in their pocket about how and where to do so. This app is available for different phone platforms, includes both online and offline information, and even gives users the ability to help the Department in its wildlife conservation and recreation mission by letting us know what they see.”

Since the initial launch prior to the Thanksgiving holiday, Vermont Outdoors has more than 4,600 downloads. New features are planned for later this year and next and will introduce even more useful tools and resources, particularly for activities popular in the spring and summer seasons. Vermont Outdoors is currently available for download in both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store for both Android and iOS devices, respectively.
