Conservation Cooperative: Episode 1 - Vermont Trail Development and Our Wild Places

  • Summary

  • Our first episode looks at an issue that the New England Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers (BHA) has been grappling with for a few years, the rapid development of recreation trails and their encroachment on wild places. We’ll explore some of the factors that are driving trail development in the state of Vermont and how it impacts the conservation of our wildlands and wildlife. This is a huge topic and one we’ll perhaps return to in the future. Consider this episode your primer on the topic.

    Big thank you to everyone who came to the table to discuss this topic.
