Welcome to the Killington Section of the Green Mountain Club
The local Killington Section of the Green Mountain Club which maintains the Long Trail from Route 140 to the Tucker/Johnson Shelter, north of Route 4 can use your help! We will be meeting on Saturday, May 7th at 9:00 AM on the west side of Route 4, just to the south of the Rutland Fire Station on that little side road (called Main Street) and south of Washington Street. Activities will include clipping, water-bar (drainage ditch) cleaning and blowdown (fallen trees) removal. We use traditional tools, including crosscut saws, axes, hoes, rakes, hand clippers, loppers and combi-tools (a trenching shovel with a long handle). All tools are provided. If you're interested, please give either Dave Coppock or Larry Walter a call at 802-683-1614 or 802-775-3855, respectively. You will need to wear durable clothes, gloves, footwear (and raingear if needed), along with lunch and at least one liter of water. If you choose to help the saw/axe crew, USFS-certified sawyers will provide hardhats and any necessary training. Sharp saws and axes are lighter, way quieter and frankly, more fun to use than a chainsaw.
