WALK IN THE WOODS

Vermont Woodlands Association and the Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation are inviting you to take a monthly excursion into Vermont’s forests, county by county. The monthly walks in the woods will be led by county foresters, consulting foresters, and natural resource professionals to showcase the wonders and enjoyment of Vermont’s lush forests. All are free and open to the public. Participants are encouraged to wear sturdy walking shoes or boots.

Please join logger, landowner and sugarmaker, Bob Capobianco for a morning walk and discussion at his family land in Williamstown Vermont. Bob has been logging with horses and a tractor in central Vermont for decades and has earned a reputation for respecting the land and people he works with and for exercising great skill and care in his work. He and his wife Karen have developed a family sugaring operation where all aspects of the forest are considered. We will meet at Bob and Karen’s home in Washington and carpool the short distance to the Williamstown property together as parking there is limited. Some strenuous walking may be necessary. All are welcome.
