DO NOT SWIM! Vermont waters are currently unsafe.
Due to significant rain and flooding in most of Vermont on July 10th, with rains continuing on July 11th, currents are very strong. Also, most rivers are filled with debris, effluent, chemicals, fertilizers, etc. and are unsafe for swimming.
North Branch Cascades volunteer stewardship day: June 24th
We will work on multiple projects to maintain and improve trails and river access. We will meet at the South Lot located at 1181 VT-12, Worcester, VT 05682. We will have two work sessions: 10am - 12pm and 12:30pm-2:30pm. If you plan to join for both sessions please plan to bring your own lunch. All volunteers should come prepared with water, close-toed shoes, and work gloves (VRC will have a limited glove supply available if you don't have any). If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Remy Crettol, Stewardship & Conservation Manager, by phone: 802-229-0820; or email: .
