List of Vermont state symbols

[1] Legally recognized symbols include the mineral, flower, bird, beverage, pie, mammal, song, insect, tree, and fish, while unofficial symbols of Vermont include: maple syrup; the eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), which was worn as a badge by the Green Mountain Boys and appears on the Vermont coat of arms and Vermont Military Crest; and the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), which also appears on the state's coat of arms.

Vermont's state song is "These Green Mountains", composed by Diane Martin and arranged by Rita Buglass Gluck.

The bird was only designated after debate in the legislature; though the hermit thrush is found in all of 14 counties and has a distinctive sweet call, it leaves the state during the winter for its yearly southward migration.

The red clover (Trifolium pratense) was designated as the state flower by the Vermont General Assembly in 1895.

The state maintains standards and develops bloodlines for the breed at the University of Vermont's Morgan Horse Farm at Weybridge.

Vermont has also designated an official state mineral (talc), pie (apple pie), soil ("Tunbridge Soil Series"), beverage (milk), gem (grossular garnet), and fossil (the beluga skeleton at the University of Vermont's Perkins Geology Museum).
