This summer, Green Mountain Conservancy (GMC) is raising $15,000 to build a much-needed trail bridge at Deer Run Nature Preserve.
For hikers, particularly those with balance issues and disabilities, the new trail bridge will provide safe passage over an increasingly precarious stream crossing located a short distance from the trailhead. Once safely across, hikers will be able to continue on their adventure and enjoy the rest of Deer Run's magnificent and still-growing trail system.
Deer Run Nature Preserve spans the Dummerston, Newfane and Brookline areas of Windham County, Vermont, and is one of the few remaining unfragmented large parcels in Southern Vermont. It currently offers 4.8 miles of out and back trails, with a third trail to open later this fall 2022!
To support our effort to keep Deer Run's trails widely accessible, you can make your tax deductible donation by visiting the donation page on our website: https://greenmountainconservancy.org/, or by sending a check to GMC at POB 301, W Dummerston, VT 05357.
Another way to support GMC's bridge project: In June, when you generously opt in to Round Up at the Brattleboro Co-op check-out, you will be supporting the trail bridge project. Construction is scheduled to begin in July.
