Preserve Land Works: August 2010

Together with Hardy Avery of Sustainable Trailworks of Morrisville, Vermont, we completed the installation of an incredible 3 mile non-motorized multiple use trail system for the Stowe Land Trust. A wide machine-built path leads 1/4 mile from the signed parking lot to a historic sugarhouse, where users can choose form easy loop walks on upgraded woods roads, a 1/2 mile singletrack loop, and a 1/2 mile spur with a loop around the top of Taber Hill. The trails are great for hiking, mountain biking and winter uses, and have been well received by local recreationists. For information on how to find the trails at Kirchner Woods, contact the Stowe Land Trust online.

Our Philosophy

Conservation Science, Ecological Forestry, and Environmental Education services offered by a group that is truly passionate about this Earth and its wise stewardship. Our approach to this work is nothing new, but it is vastly underappreciated in the wider realm of business and land management. Today, our vision is founded in the vision of one of conservation's fathers, who began his career 100 years ago:

"A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the community. The land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants and animals, or collectively; the land." ~ Aldo Leopold, 1949
