Outdoor VT Living

Walk through one of Woodstock Vermont’s most beautiful landscapes, under the shade of sugar maples and 400-year-old hemlocks, across covered bridges and alongside rambling stone walls. This is a landscape of loss, recovery, and conservation.  This is a story of stewardship, of people taking care of places – sharing an enduring connection to land and a sense of hope for the future.

This park has always been magical for us. Taking a peaceful walk or an extended run on a large network of trails and interior roads is a regular summer event for both John and me. Large parcels of land exist in the greater Woodstock area. Touch base and we can shouw you areound.
