Conserved Properties
NOTICE: Spring in Vermont means mud! SLT's owned properties including Wiessner Woods, Kirchner Woods, the Mill Trail, Page Forest, Shutesville Ledges, and DuMont Meadow remain open to the public during mud season. SLT conserved properties may be subject to mud season closures. Check https://www.trailfinder.info/vermont-mud-season for most trails and https://stowetrails.org/conditions for trails managed by Stowe Trails Partnership to find out if your preferred trail is open or closed before heading into the woods.
If using open trails during mud season, please follow these rules:
- Stay on trail and walk through wet, muddy areas, not around them. This helps protect the soil and plants along the trail edges.
- Turn back if the trails are too wet to walk on, or if you're not comfortable staying on the trail in muddy or wet conditions.
- Wear rain boots or waterproof hiking boots. Avoid sneakers and sandals, which are inappropriate for wet, muddy trails.
Our land protection work focuses on properties with exceptional conservation value. To learn more about the values we prioritize, and to learn more about the properties we've protected, explore the links below.
