2023 Community Chats!

April 26, 2023

Community Chat dates set for 2023!

Hello friends!

Community Chat's are back this summer and fall!! We’re proud of the KT Community Chat series and how much they accomplished the past two years! We got to hear from you, be in community, and understand the role KT has in our community. Get ready for more fun in 2023!

These gatherings help keep KT’s renewed commitment of consistent communication and more accessibility to all. These are relatively informal gatherings hosted on a monthly basis. Goals of the gathering will be a chance for us to share the latest news from KT, yet the bulk of the chats will be an opportunity for KT to hear feedback from you, our community. We want to receive your thoughts, questions, and even visions for the future! KT is a community based, driven, and run organization. Hearing your voice is very important to us.

If concerns are identified through these chats, we hope to demonstrate action and responsiveness, either by addressing the issues during the gathering or following up individually with folks. If it appears to be a broader concern, our team can devote a more strategic effort. There may be times when we are unable to solve every issue or implement every suggestion, but we commit to you now that we will listen and learn.

The full slate of scheduled 2023 Community Chats is listed below! These chats will be about an hour long and hosted at different times and locations for the remainder of the year. Please know KT will not be providing food or drink, but many chats are hosted at venue's that you can purchase a treat!

Questions? Drop us a line at info@kingdomtrails.org. We look forward to seeing you out there! But most of all listening and learning. We are so grateful for this shared community :)

-Abby, Lukas, and all your friends at KT.

Vermont State Treasurer, Mike Pieciak, speaks at the 2025 Outdoor Recreation Day at the Statehouse

KT is taking action—on the trails and in the Statehouse!

By Abby Long • February 13, 2025

KT is taking action—on the trails and in the Statehouse! This 2025 Legislative Session, KT is teaming up with other amazing trail organizations through the Vermont Trails & Greenway Council, to advocate for H.147 a bill to establish the Recreational Trails Compensation Study. Why does this matter? Vermont’s outdoor recreation economy generates $2.1B annually, nearly 5% of the state’s GDP, that's 2nd in the nation after Hawaii (Go VT!) KT alone drives $10M in economic impact annually. Therefore, the state must recognize and incentivize these generous private landowners, including the 106 who make KT possible and allow public access to trails.
