A reminder to Monton residents to come share your thoughts and ask questions about mechanized recreation at the future Monkton Town Forest. The discussion is this Wednesday, Oct 30th from 7-9 PM at the Monkton Town Hall (light refreshments provided)

The Monkton Town Forest Committee is hosting the third of five planned special topic meetings to discuss a range of activities and uses and how they should be considered in the long-term management plan for the Monkton Town Forest within the context of the Vermont Land Trust easement. We suggest attending in person, but remote attendance via Zoom will also be possible. (It can be a challenge to coordinate hybrid in-person/remote group meetings, but we will do our best.)
