Mount Holly is home to 462 acres that are part of Yale's Forestry program. The land was given to them in 1922 by the family of Joseph Bowen. He was a graduate of the Yale School of Forestry who was killed when shot down over France in World War one. The hikes will be held from the middle of October until early November. They are moderate walks along an early road. Learn about the history of the area and visit the plaque that was placed in memory of the young pilot who did not come home. The hikes are finalized a day or two ahead of time when more is known about the weather. Please leave a message at 802-259-2460 or ddevereux@vermontel.net if interested. There will be several opportunities to join the hour and a half trek. | | | | | Trail Work-Bee this Saturday, 10/19/24 at 9 a.m.!

There was one glove and a black winter coat that I think someone left in the Fire Station parking lot over the Cider Days weekend which blew into my yard and I discovered this morning. I'm sure whoever lost it---is missing it and would like it back:). (See photos below). So if these are yours or if you know who they belong to....please send me a note at donnaldeangelis@gmail.com and I can get them back to you! Winter is coming! Thanks Donna | | |
