The Deer Run Nature Preserve is holding a public informational meeting on Thursday, Dec. 6th from 7:00-8:30 at the Dummerston Community Center on West Street in West Dummerston. The Deer Run Nature Preserve is a 287 acre tract of land in the northwest corner of Dummerston, on the ridge that you see ahead as you pass Black Mountain going northwest on route 30. A group of community members is working with the landowner and the Vermont Land Trust to insure that this land is permanently conserved as a wilderness area, a critical wildlife corridor for the passage of all kinds of wildlife into the Green Mountain National Forest, to protect the watershed and certain endangered species, and to provide a place for wilderness hiking. A potential larger project will also be discussed.

Speakers at the meeting will include Kelly Price, game warden, Joan Weir of the Vermont Land Trust, Roger Haydock who is developing trails at Deer Run, Patti Smith of the Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center, Hector Galbraith, ornithologist and Sam Farwell who will be using maps and his experience hiking on this land to provide further details.
