Long Trail blazing. Over the course of this year we are repainting all the white blazes on the Long Trail in our section. It will take about ten person days to complete the whole Sterling Section. It can't be scheduled ahead of time since works best on beautiful sunny days. So . . . we are looking for folks who would like to be set up with a can of paint and an assigned section of trail, who can go out on their own schedule. Contact Mike McCole or Greg Western and we can set you up!

Lamoille River "back channel" trail maintenance. When the river floods (every spring and in the summer after large storms) the water flows over about 100 feet of the Long Trail. There are two ongoing maintenance jobs: 1.) maintain the signs that inform hikers about the possibility of flooding and describe the location of the alternate high water route and 2.) clear the treadway of flood debris once the water recedes. Contact Mike McCole or Greg Western.
