Volunteer Work Day Accelerates Re-opening of Trails
July 29, 2020
Blood, Sweat, and Volunteers.
On Saturday, July 25th, a group of about 20 volunteers and staff met on the ridge for a socially distanced volunteer work day led by CJ Scott and Ethan Kascenska.
The sun was shining, the hornets were buzzing (literally, it seems like every work day uncovers a ground nest), and good vibes were abundant.
Thanks to the hard work of these dedicated KT enthusiasts, the following trails are now reconnected, re-opened and ready to be ridden!
- Heavens Bench
- Ridge
- Sugar Hill
- Easy Out
- East Branch
- Rim
Special thanks to Mike Greenblatt and Kate Spellissy, the new landowners who made it all possible. As always, we are so grateful!

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.
