SPORTS & OUTDOORS Saturday, September 14th! Stowe’s Brownsville Forest Conserved as New Addition to State Forest The Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation announced the addition of 758 acres to C.C. Putnam State Forest in Stowe. As part of the State Forest, the Brownsville Forest property, as the land is locally known, will be open to the public and managed by the Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation. The Department’s acquisition of this land adds a large block of forest land to C.C. Putnam State Forest, protects the headwaters of Moss Glen Brook and multiple beaver ponds, and provides opportunities for dispersed recreation along the western flank of the Worcester Range. Looking at how the property fits in the larger landscape, the Brownsville Forest acquisition helps to protect a significant wildlife corridor from the Worcester Range to the Northeast Kingdom. Partnering with the Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, Stowe Land Trust made the acquisition possible by facilitating the land transfer and raising the funds necessary to purchase the property, which included a $5 million anonymous donation through the Vermont Community Foundation and a grant from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board. As a result of this partnership, Stowe Land Trust and the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board co-hold a conservation easement on the land. “Thanks to the broad and deep support from the Stowe area community and the hard work of our partners, this incredible property is now protected and will be open for the public to enjoy for generations to come,” said Stowe Land Trust executive director, Kristen Sharpless. “It’s a fantastic outcome for the land and our community.” Work Together and Take Action to Reduce Carbon During the Global Climate Strike and Climate Week Green Mountain Power (GMP) is partnering with customers and communities across Vermont to help them with projects to reduce carbon emissions during the Global Climate Strike on September 20, and will continue community initiatives through September 27. GMP will work with the communities where its 15 district offices are located, to develop projects that support their local carbon cutting actions. GMP is also increasing incentives for that week for customers to drive carbon out of their homes and businesses, by increasing rebates for electric vehicles, heat pumps and electric bikes. Customers will be able to qualify for up to $3,000 for EVs (up from $2,500) if they’re low/moderate income and up to $2,000 (up from $1,500) for other GMP customers, $650 for heat pumps (up from $400) and $250 for e-bikes (up from $200). GMP is also launching a new $50 rebate for electric mowers that will continue after Climate Week ends. These programs, encouraged by the state’s leaders and legislation, and reviewed by regulators, help increase affordability and predictability for Vermonters while helping meet state decarbonization goals. When customers choose to go electric it helps cut carbon emissions because GMP’s power supply is 60% renewable and 90% carbon free. The switch also directly helps to cut costs for all GMP customers. GMP’s Business Innovation Programs over the last two years alone have helped GMP partner with Vermont companies on projects that not only reduce their costs, but will offset more than 200 million pounds of carbon. “Without the help from GMP my business wouldn’t be growing the way it is now,” said Ben Hills, Owner of Flying Crow Coffee in Springfield. “The switch to electric roasting is huge for me, and knowing the power is 90% carbon free is great,” Hills said. There are other benefits to going electric. According to Drive Electric Vermont, driving an electric vehicle is cheaper than fueling up with gas and maintenance costs are also less over the lifetime of the vehicle, making it a better option for many Vermonters. As • • • Affirming the importance of this acquisition, Forests, Parks, and Recreation Commissioner Michael Snyder said, “Protecting this gem for the public not only provides wonderful benefits locally, but it also enhances a significant statewide asset for all Vermonters and our guests to enjoy forever. We’re deeply appreciative of Stowe Land Trust and the surrounding community for their hard work to make this happen.” The Department will begin to manage the land as part of the abutting C.C. Putnam State Forest and will include the parcel in its long-range management plan for the Worcester Range Management Unit, of which this property is now a part. As this long-range planning process is under way, the land will be open and available to the public for recreational uses that are in keeping with protecting the area’s quiet and remote character, and include hiking, hunting, skiing, snowshoeing, and wildlife observation. The Department has already begun assessing the condition of the property’s access and existing trail network and has determined that a portion of the trail network is in good condition and will be open to the public for pedestrian use immediately. Although mountain biking is a historic use on the property, the trails do not currently meet standards for sustainable use. All trails on the property will be closed to bikes until trails can be fully assessed to determine suitability for mountain biking and improvements can be made to meet industry standards for mountain bike trails. For more information about the Brownsville Forest property, visit www.stowelandtrust.org. part of the week, GMP employees will be offering rides in their electric vehicles, which represent a range of makes and models, so people can try it out and learn the benefits. “You’re welcome to drive it - but don’t drive it if you are not ready to trade, because you are gonna want one,” said 91-year-old GMP customer Harold Eastman. The Colchester resident just purchased his second EV, and lets anyone test drive his car because he loves it so much. “It is so exciting to see the progress we are making in Vermont in partnership with customers. All working together we can make a difference in the fight against climate change, while also offering programs that drive down costs for all customers. GMP is proud to partner with communities to assist them with projects to reduce emissions,” said Mary Powell, GMP President and CEO. “The students who have led the Global Climate Strike this past year are so inspiring and we’re proud to do our part to support their message and give back here in Vermont, while maintaining great service for all of our customers.” GMP is also asking communities to apply to win 40 trees that GMP employees will plant, free of charge. GMP’s donations, including the free trees, will be paid through a charitable fund, and not by customers. Communities can apply to win the free trees – by writing a short essay outlining: • Why the community wants the trees. • What winning will mean for the community. • How the community plans to care for the trees, to ensure they continue to reduce carbon for decades. The essay should be emailed to kristin. kelly@greenmountainpower.com by noon on Monday, September 16. GMP will announce the winning community and plant the trees there on Friday, September 20 during the Climate Week kick off. For people wanting to sign up for the EV taxi-like rides with GMP, please contact graham.turk@ greenmountainpower.com.
