We are so happy our new trail signage is making a difference in your ability to navigate our trails! These signs were a labor of love that took months to create, and all of the wood burned markers were made by hand by our land steward, Tyler Pastorok. Come check them out and see if you still get lost! Big thanks to the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources' Recreation Trails Program Grant that funded this work.
