Join the Vermont Land Trust for a community celebration at the Pratt Refuge marking the completion of new and improved trails designed to expand access, learning, and exploration.

A newly built universally accessible woodland trail now connects the parking area to the cabin and restroom while guiding visitors through a Forestry for the Birds demonstration site developed with Audubon Vermont. Recently installed interpretive signage along the route highlights forest management practices that support healthy bird habitat and thriving ecosystems.

Additional trail improvements include punchoen and benches in the lower birding meadow and a newly-built trail up to a view of Camel’s Hump.

Join us for brief remarks recognizing the partners who helped bring these improvements to life, followed by guided strolls along the trails and finishing with refreshments in the cabin.

The Pratt Refuge borders the vast forests of Camel’s Hump State Park and sits within one of Vermont’s highest-priority interior forest and wildlife connectivity areas—an ecologically rich landscape of northern hardwood and mixedwood forest, streams, vernal pools, and mountain views. Come experience this remarkable landscape and celebrate expanded access to the outdoors!

If needed, the rain date will be Thursday June 11.
