Upper Valley Trails Alliance

Upper Valley Trails Alliance Promoting Trails, Connecting Communities! www.uvtrails.org UVTA's methodology includes Stewardship, Outreach, and Education.

The Upper Valley Trails Alliance is a non-profit in the Upper Valley Region that:
*connects people and places through a regional trail network
*leads a coalition of local trail groups and advocates, and
*promotes active lifestyles through trail use in all seasons. There is no other entity filling the need to coordinate and maximize the efforts of the various trail-related organiza

tions throughout the area. Our projects and programs make simultaneous use of these approaches. Visit the About -> History/Mission & Vision and other pages of our website to learn how!

For your hiking to-do list: Okemo State Forest's Healdville Trail.

This week's hike, featured in today's edition of Daybreak Upper Valley, is a moderately difficult hike to the summit of Okemo Mountain and a refurbished fire tower that provides 360° views.

Let us know if you've experienced Okemo Mountain in both the winter AND summer!

Ethan, Stevie, and Jack recently spent the day working out at the Audrey McCollum Trail in Etna. They hauled fresh lumber out to replace six damaged bog bridges that will keep users safe and dry while helping to protect this beautiful, local wetland.

UVTA recently installed 50 new check steps at River Trail in Hanover.

We replaced the older rotting steps with new ones to make this steep section safer and more accessible for trail users. Plus, they'll reduce erosion and increase sustainability for years to come.

We hope you (and your dogs) have fun out there!

Randy, Ethan, Stevie, and Jack were busy at the Montshire Museum of Science this week continuing work on the trails in the Healing Forest!

They moved tons of stone, put down the first layer of new trail surface, repaired lookout points, and cleared obstacles.

Once this project is finished, more of the trails and outdoor exhibits will be available to more visitors, including visitors using wheelchairs.

Thank you to the volunteers from Hypertherm Associates that recently joined us for a day of work on the Montshire Museum of Science's Outdoor Discovery Trails. Volunteers cleaned and cleared trails to get them ready for the season and pulled a lot of invasive buckthorn. Thank you!

We began upgrading the steps at Hanover's River Trail last week.

We are building 50+ new wooden check-steps near the Maple Street entrance to the trail. We started by removing the older, rotting steps, and we have begun to build new steps to make this steep section of the trail safer and more accessible for trail users.

Using the new stairs will help reduce erosion and increase sustainability for many years to come!
