Save Bolton Valley Nordic and Backcountry

In February of 2011, the public learned that the majority of the Bolton Valley Nordic and backcountry trails were to be sold to a private individual and that public access to the land would be lost. In less than two months, the Friends of Bolton Valley Nordic and Backcountry formed to protect this resource and the public's access to it. With the outpouring of support from the Nordic and backcountry community, the Vermont Land Trust signed a contract to purchase the 1,161 acres that host the Bolton Valley Nordic and backcountry trails. This is truly a unique opportunity for Vermont to protect this land as an addition to Mt. Mansfield State Forest. To make this happen, we need your help. Learn more.
