Help Create the New Middlesex Town Forest

The Vermont Land Trust and the Town of Middlesex have come together to protect a beautiful 403-acre property as a new town forest. Town forests can be used for timber management and by the public for recreation. They also serve as protected wildlife habitat. Conservation of this property would make the possibility of an end-to-end trail across the Worcester Range more likely.

To conserve this land, we need your help.
 

The Vermont Land Trust is a nonprofit organization that works with individuals, organizations, and communities to conserve land for the future of Vermont.

Vermonters Value Our
Working Landscape

Over 97% of respondents to a survey (PDF) completed by the Council on the Future of Vermont said that they value the state’s working landscape and heritage—more respondents agreed on this than any other statement in the survey.

When asked about the challenges facing Vermont, over 92% of respondents said that they were concerned about the health and viability of Vermont farms and the agricultural sector—making this the second highest concern of respondents overall.
