WINTER 2009 UPDATE:

East Montpelier Trails, Inc., has miles to go. . . .  Currently with 13 miles of permanently protected multi-use trails, we have a vision (even a plan) to connect to U32 High School, the Cross Vermont Trail, Montpelier bike path, and the Central Vermont Civic Center. It’s all done with donations, grants, and volunteers.

If you haven’t yet experienced the satisfaction of doing trail work, this year there will be lots of opportunities. In fact, 6 monthly community work parties are scheduled on the Mallory Brook Trail with trail experts Greg Western and Zyla Nuite.

Save these dates: May 17, June 20, July 26, August 15, September 13, October 10.

Some people mistakenly think trail work is only for those who get a kick out of moving boulders, shoveling mud, and nursing sore muscles.  Actually, trail work can accommodate all types.

Which type are you?

1. you like to be outside doing almost anything
2. you’re a multi-tasker, even when communing with nature (how else could you get exercise, talk w/ friends, meet new people, contribute to the community, be in nature, all at the same time?)
3. you use the trails and want to contribute to their upkeep
4. you’d like to serve your community, but don’t like to sit in meetings
5. you believe moving boulders is for (fill in the blank) but trimming limbs is more your speed

Greg and Zyla will be on the trails 9 am –5 pm with plenty of tools and ideas for how you can help. Just come down the trail any time during the day to get involved. The work is adjustable for all ages and experience levels. If you know of a youth group or other organization that might like to work on the trail, let Greg know so he can set up a work date special for them. Or if you have experience and want to work on your own time, let Greg know and he’ll get you started on your own personal spot:  gwestern@comcast.net.

Additional work parties will be scheduled for maintenance work on some of our other trails—check web site for details.

If you’d like to be notified when we’ll be doing trail work suited to your type, send your contact info to: sriggen@comcast.net 223-4262.

Happy Trails!
