Members of the VTF&WCG are teaming up with Trout Unlimited, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, Kingdom Trails Association, The Connecticut River Conservancy, and the Town of Burke to plant trees along the East Branch of the Passumpsic River.

This is a BIG planting!  There are 100’s of tress and shrubs to be planted!

We can now confirm the planting project is on for May 8,9, and 10!  It is less than a month away, so we’re starting now to our volunteers lined up.  Plantings start at 11:00 on the 8th and then a 9:00 the remaining 2 days. On the night of the 8th, after an afternoon of planting, show up at the Burke Publick House at 6:30 pm for a kick off celebration pint night. Working? Show up Wednesday afternoon to do what you can!

The stretch being planted is about 1/4 mike upriver from the dam removal project from 2017. Park in the Kingdom Trails parking area, cross the road and proceed over the snowmobile bridge behind East Burke Sports. Bring gloves, a shovel and a five gallon bucket if you can.
