Trail Maintenance Fund

Your Donations Count

The Vermont Horse Council works with local riding clubs, as well as State and National agencies on the maintenance, preservation, and improvement of trails within Vermont. Specifically, those trails include:

  • Northeast Kingdom Trails (Victory and Island Pond)
  • Groton State Forest Trails and Equine Camping Facility
  • Willoughby State Forest Trails
  • Coolidge State Park Trails and Equine Camping Facility
  • Green Mountain National Forest – Silver Lake Trails and Camping Facility

We collaborate with local riding clubs for trail maintenance volunteer days. Special events and rides are scheduled throughout the year and can be found on our calendar of events page.

Annually through the VHC Cooperative Agreement with the Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) a planning process to identify equine related trail projects on State lands is undertaken and if funding is secured, completed in the following year.
