A brand new map on our trailhead kiosk, signs, benches, natural history brochure, and an accessible privy at the North Branch Cascades Trail thanks to a grant from @AARPLivable. The parking areas are plowed, so it's a great all-season destination. #AARPCommunityChallenge
SAVE THE DATE: May 24, 6:30-7:30PM. Zoom Meet & Greet with author, fly fisherman, & past VRC Board Member Tim Traver. Tim will present his most recent book "Fly Fishing & Conservation in Vermont: Stories of the Battenkill and Beyond". More info on this event (& link) coming soon.
A reminder from VRC that snow melt creates turbulent & deceptively swift waters, and that riverbanks and rocks might be especially slippery! PLEASE stay safe if you hike near water, consider leashing your pets, & do not enter turbulent rivers for any reason.
VRC has been a grateful recipient of VHCB support for many years- funding important projects that protect public access to our rivers throughout Vermont. When you think of your favorite VRC swimming hole, you likely have VHCB to thank!

Don't let the snow stop you from visiting the North Branch Cascades Trail. The northern lot is plowed so you can get out on the trail for a winter hike and a breath of fresh air, and discover the beauty of the frozen cascades. #northbranchcascades#vtrivers#getoutsideandexplore
