VYCC Lends a Hand: Trails are OPEN!
Thanks to the expertise and hard work of a great crew of Vermont Youth Conservation Corps (VYCC) staff working with us this Thursday, we're excited to announce that nearly ALL of the trails at the Green Mountain Audubon Center are now open! The Spear Trail and the Museum Trail on our upper property are the only closed trails as of today. (Scroll down for some great photos of the VYCC crew at work!)
We are so grateful for the outpouring of volunteer hours, positive energy, financial assistance, and words and gestures of support over the past two weeks since the Wind Storm hit. We're fortune to be part of such a wonderful community here in Vermont. A heartfelt THANK YOU to you all!
WPTZ Covers Audubon's Wind Storm Recovery
A news crew from WPTZ (MyNBC5) joined us on Thursday. They documented some of the tricky tree challenges that the VYCC crew tackled. They also interviewed our Audubon Center Director, Kim Guertin, who gave a clear-eyed assessment of the work still ahead and the tremendous progress we've made. Click here for the video.
