SPNHF acquired the two lots surrounding the AT (Shelburne Valley Forest) with multiple grant funding sources. One of those grants was from a federal Community Forest program and as a result, an advisory group of Shelburne citizens will have input on management of that forest land. After Bayroot...

The Shelburne Trails Club received no prior notification about this event, nor any request to use the club maintained trails that are made available to the public only through the generous permission of the private landowners through which these trails pass. I also don't expect to see any...

Logging on Austin Brook Trail Hikers should be aware that logging is now ocurring along the upper sections of the Austin Brook Trail after it leaves the Austin Brook Road (logging road) and also along the Dryad Falls Trail. Beware of trucks on the logging road sections also. FormerStarMan
