Cross Vermont Trail
Volunteer Vacations 2008

forest

Spend a week or two camping in the Vermont woods, meeting new people, and helping to build the next piece of the Cross Vermont Trail!

We will be working in Groton State Forest and in a Fish & Wildlife preserve along the Winooski River in East Montpelier.

Crews will be made up of 6 - 10 people - of all ages and backgrounds - from the local area, and all over the USA and the world.

We will live together as a group, sharing chores like cooking. All group camping gear and food is provided, but we will go grocery shopping together - so bring a favorite recipe!

crew tents

We will be building the next pieces of the Cross Vermont Trail. Our work will link together existing stretches of trail in neighboring towns by building needed connections through the natural areas between the towns.

Each week we'll have some time for recreation - to explore the surrounding lakes and mountains, as well as the small but vibrant downtowns of local communities.
