TOWN CEMETERY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We are looking for a few volunteers to mow or trim in our town cemeteries. Towns are required to provide some maintenance, so they need to be trimmed about 3 times between June and October. The only town cemetery currently with lots available for sale is the Packer Cemetery. The large Mechanicsville Cemetery in Belmont is a private association.

If interested, please contact me with a message at 802-259-2460 or ddevereux@vermontel.net for a site visit.

MAPLE MONDAY

Hello, Monday! We've been counting down all week to share this one with you.

We know — maple syrup and summer salads might not be the first pairing that comes to mind. But trust us on this one: grilled peaches brushed with our wood-fired maple syrup, caramelized until soft, golden, and just barely smoky? Game changer.

This week's recipe is a Maple-Grilled Peach Salad — peppery arugula, toasted pecans, thin red onion, and a maple-Dijon vinaigrette pulling it all together. Light, fresh, and just sweet enough. No peaches yet where you are? Any ripe stone fruit will do the trick.

And remember — it all starts with the real stuff. Our wood-fired, award-winning pure Vermont maple syrup is what makes recipes like this one sing. We've got every size ready to ship, so grab a bottle (or three) and get grilling. Visit our website and shop!

IT'S DAM INTERESTING!!!

Cold River Restoration Projects

What is going on at the road to the Shrewsbury Mountain School ???l!! Why is the dam being removed? Won't it wash away the culvert below where it crosses Northam Road? And who is paying for all this work?

Find out the answers to these questions and more on Saturday morning June 27 at 10:00am when Katie Stiles, District Manager of Rutland Natural Resources Conservation District, leads us in a discussion about the ongoing dam removal and culvert replacement. We will discuss why dams are being removed and the importance of replacing our dated and ill-fitting culverts in the name of aquatic organism passage, water quality, flood resilience, and wildlife habitat!

Rutland NRCD is now reviewing the 2013 Cold River Corridor Plan in order to identify new projects and re-prioritize potential ones. Come armed with ideas for the future and a thoughtful mind for ecological discussion. Park at the transfer station and Town Garage area where we will meet at 10:00. Wear walking shoes as some construction will have already disrupted the earth and we'll also walk down to the culvert.
