A little something different and frequently requested, finally being offered . . . a floating adventure! Bring your kayak or canoe and head out with us on Molly's Falls Pond.
Molly's Falls Pond State Park is a 1,064-acre state park in Cabot and Marshfield, Vermont surrounding 411-acre Molly's Falls Pond, a reservoir that is also known as Marshfield Reservoir. This is an undeveloped, day-use park. There is a Vermont Fish and Wildlife access area at the northwest end of the park where we will meet in the parking lot at 11:00.
Pack a lunch, hydration and maybe even a swimsuit! Don't forget your life jacket for this "different type" of adventure!

Yellow Iris Removal - NEK
Yellow Iris Removal - NEK
June 14, 2023 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Commonly grown and transplanted for its showy yellow flowers, yellow flag iris (Iris pseudacorus) has invaded wetlands and other aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats. (Learn more at vtinvasive.org)
We will be holding a workday to remove these invasive plants from the shoreline around Hadsel Mares Cabin at the Wheeler Pond Camp in Barton. The job will involve using shovels to dig out any clumps of iris and wheel barreling them to a tarp where they can desiccate and die. Long pants, long sleeve, work gloves and water shoes are recommended. Workday will run from 10am to noon on Wednesday, June 14th.
Contact John at NortheastKingdomSection@greenmountainclub.org if you are interested in helping.

We are in desperate need of volunteer hike leaders. The only GMC requirement to lead a hike is that you are an active member. If you are new to leading hikes we ask that you are familiar with the hike you are leading. Please consider leading us on your favorite hike.
