HIKES INTO THE YALE FOREST

Hikes to be offered into the Yale Forest starting next week. 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.!

Join us for the first of two (2) trail work-bee days this Saturday, October 19th, at 9 a.m. We will be meeting on RTE 103 at 9 a.m. on the flats at the pull-off area for parking.

We will be working on state land, so anyone operating a chainsaw will need to have proper safety equipment, including chaps, a helmet, and eye protection.

Kids are encouraged to come and help drag brush! ATVs are requested, but if you do not have one, you may be able to ride with another person.

For more information or to RSVP, please contact Steve Howlett at 802-558-1013.

Let's come together and keep our trails in great shape!
