The CLF Team

Anthony Iarrapino is a Staff Attorney who resides in Montpelier, Vermont. He works in CLF’s Clean Water and Healthy Forests Program, focusing on the protection of Lake Champlain, the Green Mountain National Forest, and Vermont’s other natural treasures. In his years at CLF, Anthony has won precedent-setting Clean Water Act cases in Vermont’s environmental court and in federal district court. He has also worked in coalition with citizens and other environmental ngos, securing legislative victories to designate approximately 48,000 acres of Wilderness in the Green Mountain National Forest, to strengthen enforcement of environmental laws in Vermont, and to protect Vermont’s heritage of open government and freedom of information from attempted expansion of government secrecy. In 2008, Anthony accepted the Clean Water Network’s “Aqua Award” on behalf of CLF for “Organization of the Year” in recognition of stormwater pollution cleanup strategies that Anthony and his colleagues successfully implemented in Vermont and other New England states.

Prior to joining CLF in 2005, Anthony spent two years as the law clerk for Hon. Denise R. Johnson, Associate Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court. During law school, Anthony worked at the Vermont Public Interest Group in Montpelier, The South Royalton Legal Services Clinic, and at the Denver, CO office of Earthjustice, where he focused on public land, endangered species, and environmental justice issues. Before entering the legal field, Anthony worked as an aide to U.S. Congressman Martin T. Meehan. Anthony received his B.A. magna cum laude from Boston College in 1998 and his J.D. summa cum laude from Vermont Law School in 2003. Anthony is admitted to practice law in Vermont and Massachusetts.
