Join your neighbors and 350Vermont for "Routes to Resilience," a biking and walking tour that showcases Rutland's resilience in the face of climate change. This event will feature a four-mile walking route and seven- and 20-mile biking routes. Each route is loaded with stops where participants can learn about local farms and food production, natural areas, solar energy, and of course lots of ways that people can plug into a climate-friendly lifestyle in Southern Vermont!

Registration is free (though donations to 350VT are welcome), and will begin at 8:30 A.M. at the Vermont Farmers Food Center. At 9 A.M., we'll head out together and explore the area, learning and snacking our way around town. We'll meet up at the Chaffee Art Center for food, story sharing, a lesson in permaculture, and prizes--all wrapping up around 1 P.M. All ages are welcome, and some bicycles will be available to borrow.

This event is a local piece of the global Rise for Climate, Jobs, and Justice event, with actions happening throughout Vermont and all over the world on September 8, just a few days before mayors, state governors, and business and civil society leaders from all over the world gather in San Francisco for the Global Climate Action Summit. Rutland can stand with the rest of the globe and say, "We want a livable future and a clean planet!"
