In 2001, . ho:wever, in!ensive logging and property dam~;: again prompted s1gmficant adjustments to the trail route, this time relocating a large portion of the lower trail and constructing a new trailhead and parking area in the Brighton Town Forest. In 2002, North Woods, working with the Town of Brighton, re-established the historic Lookout Trail, reopening the last remaining section of the original hiking trail. Today, the Bluff Mountain Community Trail offers a 2.7-mile loop that passes through the open hardwoods of the Brighton Town Forest, follows rugged bedrock ridges, and climbs steeply up the open-faced outcroppings of the Lookout Trail.

LOOKOUT TRAIL- The Bluff Mountain Lookout Trail is the last remaining section of the original hiking trail and offers a steep and challenging ascent to a rocky overlook with sweeping vistas over Island Pond, the Nulhegan Basin, and several local and distant peaks. NOTE: The Lookout Trail is extremely steep in places and may not be suitable for some hikers. The trail requires hikers to scramble up open rock slabs with the aid of metal hand-hold devices and can be dangerous in adverse weather conditions. Hikers should use extra caution with children and pets. Due to the steep grade, many hikers may find it easier to climb up, rather than down, this section oftrail . From the lower junction with the Bluff Mountain Trail (0/0 mi.), the yellow-blazed Lookout Trail immediately crosses a small stream and begins to climb at a moderate grade through the young forest. After crossing a skid road (0.1 mi.), the trail turns westward, crosses a low, wet area, and, turning northwest, soon rea~hes the base of a steep, wooded slope. From here, the trail hegms to cl~mb steeply over stone steps and short switchbacks before reachmg the base of a rock outcropping (0.3 mi.). W:ith the aid of a number of iron ladder holds, the Lookout T~ail chmbs several rock slabs and quickly gains elevation, offenng !ocal views to the south, particularly at the lower lookout above he_seco nd series of hand holds.

The fire lookout station on Gore was only the third such lookout es- tablished in the state of Vermont- built in 1912 shortly after a lookout site was established on Camel's Hump (no tower) in 1911 and Burke 1 Mountain (built by Elmer Darling) in 1912. This action was prompted by several large fires in Vermont, including one that burned 1200-acres in Lewis, Ferdinand, Bloomfield, Brunswick and Brighton in 1903.2 The station included both a fire tower and warden's cabin on the summit. Reportedly, the tower, constructed in 1934 by the CCC to replace an older tower (date unknown), was sold in the 1970's and hauled off the mountain by a skidder. The cabin still stands. The Gore Mountain Trail was re-established in 2000 by a North- Woods Stewardship Center Trail Crew after years of neglect and, de- spite some necessary changes, follows the historic fire warden's trail for much of its length.

    Trains, Logs, Moose, and Birds: Building on the Past and Reaching toward the Future with Cultural Heritage and Nature-based Ecotourism in Island Pond, Vermont Environmental interpretation involves communicating about natural history, cultural heritage, and environmental issues to visitors engaged in recreational pursuits in a way that is interesting and entertaining. Interpreters seek to enhance visitors’ recreational experiences while assisting recreation managers in protecting the resources through the use of interpretive media. By Thomas R. Hudspeth* he Vermont Landscape Conference considers views of the past and visions of the future, using the paintings of Vermont Tlandscape painter Charles Louis Heyde as a jumping off point. This paper looks at trains and logs in Island Pond’s past and their contri- bution to the area’s unique sense of place. It then considers moose and birds and other watchable wildlife as potential contributors to Island Pond’s economic revival and sustainable development—development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. Island Pond is a village in the Town of Brighton in the wild and re- mote Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, a region that encompasses Cale- donia, Essex, and Orleans counties and is currently confronting high unemployment, poverty, and outmigration of youth. The village takes its name from the adjacent body of water, which in turn is named for the twenty-acre island in the pond.

  • Glover Flood Resilience Element
    FLOOD RESILIENCE PLAN for the Town of Glover, Vermont Prepared by Meghann Carter NorthWoods Stewardship Center East Charleston, VT in cooperation with the Glover Planning Commission and Glover Selectboard February, 2015 Paid for in part by the Barton Hydro Project Municipal Planning Grant Introduction With an all-hazards mitigation plan now written and pending approval, the Town of Glover is obligated to begin to address identified pertinent hazards, one of which is flooding and fluvial erosion. The purpose of this plan is to identify key hazard areas which are most likely to be affected by flood and fluvial erosion and to propose potential actions to minimize these hazards and their impacts. Potential major points of impact include dams, culverts, bridges, and infrastructure such as roads and buildings within the floodplains. Goals (1) Identify areas of greatest risk to flooding and fluvial erosion within the Town of Glover. (2) Develop recommendations for future actions to create a flood-and fluvial erosion-safe Glover, minimizing threats to public safety, property, and water quality. Flooding and Fluvial Erosion in Vermont Flooding and fluvial erosion are Vermont’s most common and costly types of natural disaster and over time, many compounding factors have increased Vermont’s susceptibility to flood damage. As climate change affects global temperature fluctuations, storms of greater power and higher frequency are anticipated, and indeed this trend has been observed in recent decades. This trend had led to global, state, and regional efforts to better prepare for these events by identifying sensitive resources, key areas of vulnerability, and implementing mitigations. In the interest of promoting local flood resilience, as of July 1, 2014, according to new legislation (Act 16), any newly adopted or readopted municipal or regional plan must have a Flood Resilience Plan Element.

  • Clyde River Hydroelectric Project Docket Nos. WQ-02-08(A) and (B) (Consolidated)
    State of Vermont WATER RESOURCES BOARD RE: Clyde River Hydroelectric Project Docket Nos. WQ-02-08(A) and (B) (Consolidated) AMENDED WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATE: FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, AND ORDER This decision pertains to an application for a Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (Certificate) from the State of Vermont filed by Citizens Communications Company (Citizens or Applicant) in conjunction with its request for relicensure by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) of the Clyde River Hydroelectric Project (Project). The Applicant filed its application with the Department of Environmental Conservation (Department), Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) on January 24, 2002, and was granted a Certificate by the Secretary of ANR on August 1, 2002, pursuant to 10 V.S.A. § 1004 (Secretary’s Action). This Certificate was timely appealed to the Water Resources Board (Board), which conducted a de novo contested case hearing with respect to the issues raised on appeal. In order to obtain a Certificate, the Applicant was required to show that its Project complies with the Vermont Water Quality Standards (VWQS) and other state law provisions applicable under § 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq., commonly known as the Clean Water Act (CWA). As explained more fully below, the Board concludes that there is sufficient credible evidence in the record before the Board upon which to find that the Project, as proposed by the Applicant and conditioned by the Secretary of ANR, is largely in compliance with the VWQS and other applicable law. However, the Board concludes that certain Findings and Conditions imposed by the Secretary of ANR and identified by the Appellants, must be modified to ensure that compliance with the VWQS and other applicable state law will be achieved during the period of the license with respect to the operation of the Newport 1, 2, 3 facilities and the Seymour Lake Dam.
