The resolution commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Vermont Covered Bridge Society, which was established in 2000 to preserve the state's remaining covered bridges. Once home to over 500 covered bridges, Vermont now has fewer than 100 due to various factors such as fires, floods, and aging infrastructure. The Society has grown significantly, now boasting over 300 members from the U.S. and Canada, and actively collaborates with state agencies and local communities to restore and maintain these historic structures.

In addition to its preservation efforts, the Vermont Covered Bridge Society maintains a robust online presence, featuring a website that includes news stories, a virtual tour of existing covered bridges, and information about romantic shelters that serve various purposes. The resolution not only honors the Society's contributions to Vermont's cultural heritage but also directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Society, recognizing its important role in the community.
