AROUND TOWN

AROUND STATE
Hiking seasonMemorial Day weekend signaled the end of spring mud season and the start of summer hiking. Trails around the state are now open. The Green Mountain Club (GMC) estimates 200,000 people visit the Long Trail System each year. Trail conditions may vary with the earlier arrival of summer temperatures; be prepared for snow at higher elevations and if you encounter plentiful mud, be prepared to turn around and give the trail a little more time to dry out. GMC early hiking season tips include:
— Let someone know where you’ll be hiking and when you plan to return.
— Pack warmer layers and traction for mountain tops, as summits may still have snow and Vermont’s weather can change quickly.
— Prepare to walk straight through mud and puddles to avoid damaging the surrounding vegetation; waterproof boots are a great start.
— GMC has a busy season of trail work planned, so please use caution around active work areas, including Camel’s Hump and Stratton Pond.
— Carry a map and know which trailhead you need to return to. Cellphone reception is spotty on many trails.
— Pack out your trash, food, dog waste, and gear to help protect Vermont’s special places.
— Have a backup plan when parking lots are full. Taking the trail less traveled is less impactful to the trail environment and offers new views for trail users. Check Trail Finder for nearby hikes.
Hikers can connect with GMC from anywhere by calling, emailing, or messaging us on social media for timely, personalized hiking advice. Hikers can also stop by the Marvin B. Gameroff Hiker Information Center on Route 100 in Waterbury Center, or the volunteer-run Barnes Camp Visitor Center in Stowe, staffed Friday-Monday, for in-person advice.
VTF&W
Instructor trainingADDISON — The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is offering a New Instructor Training Course for people interested in volunteering to teach hunter education courses in Vermont. The training will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 4, at Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area Visitor Center in Addison. For training event registration, visit register-ed.com/events/view/178685 online or call (802) 828-1193 prior to the course date.
Delay mowingBobolinks, Savannah sparrows and eastern meadowlarks are in decline due to the loss of appropriate grassland habitat. The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is encouraging landowners to help these beloved species by waiting a little longer to mow their fields, preferably after Aug. 1, to give these birds a chance to complete their nesting season.
Bobolinks build nests among the grasses and wildflowers of fields and meadows. When bobolinks are present, other grassland bird species such as Savannah sparrows and grasshopper sparrows, may also be nesting among the grasses. Deer fawns, wild turkey chicks and other animals take refuge in the grass and are also at risk by mowing too early.
