There has been a surge of Chimney Swift towers popping up across the state; these structures provide nesting and roosting habitat for Chimney Swifts. In the state of Vermont, Chimney Swifts are considered a “Species of Greatest Conservation Need” by the Vermont State Wildlife Action Plan, due to their population declines both in Vermont and throughout their entire range, and they are protected by Federal law under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
