108 blowdowns removed. 300+ drainages cleared. 31.6 miles maintained.

That's what WVAIA's partnership with The Trail Fixing Collective accomplished this spring.

Add in continued improvements to historic Goodrich Rock Trail, and your membership dues, donations, the Waterville Valley Foundation and Town support are making a real impact on the trails we all enjoy.

🌲 Heading out on the trails? We need your help!

WVAIA is teaming up with Trail Fixing Collective this May for our spring tree blowdown patrol — and you can help us get ahead of the work.

If you spot a downed tree or major trail obstruction, please take a moment to report it:
👉 www.wvaia.org/report-trail-issues

Don’t worry about being exact - even rough info makes a big difference. And don't attempt to remove the blowndowns. Let WVAIA and its trail professionals do the work safely!

Thanks for helping keep our trails clear & safe! 🙌
