Rood River Corridor Easement Lincoln, Vermont New Haven River

Rood River Corridor Easement

Ron Rood was a Vermont author, naturalist, and commentator on Vermont Public Radio. When he passed away in 2001, his family worked with Vermont River Conservancy to protect this land — an enduring way to honor his love of land and wildlife. The easement here protects a beautiful upland meadow and forested slope, all overlooking a rare wetland complex along the upper New Haven River.

Right next to this property, the Town of Lincoln worked with Vermont River Conservancy to protect an additional 10-acre River Corridor Easement.
