CAN-AM® SPYDER® RT-S Shrewsbury Sno-Birds It is hard to believe that we are almost to the end of July. Our club is still working on getting everything together to replace a bridge at the border of the Gagnon and city watershed properties. We are still planning on getting it done this year. It seems that you always have challenges that you have to overcome just when you thought you were good to go. On our Corridor 407 trail the state of Vermont acquired 1,346 acres in Mendon and Shrewsbury. This connects the Aitken State Forest to the Coolidge State Forest. With this block of land connecting the other two, there are now a total of approximately 21,000 acres of connected state lands. We are always working very closely with them to try and get a balance between what their books say and what we like to see. For the most part things work out pretty well. The key is to maintain your trails really well for water drainage so they do not see erosion. Our club is also doing their part in helping with the VAST Annual Meeting being held in Killington this year. Rutland county clubs and VAST are coming together to make this a nice event. We did not have as much time to prepare but we will make it work. We hope to see a lot of you there! We also will be doing our normal trail debrushing and tread work later in the summer and early fall to get ready for the next snowmobile season. Some of our intersection signs need repair or replacing also. The Tucker should be all set due to the lack of snow last year. There is always something to do, but with the temps in the 80s and 90s you do not always think of the snowmobile projects. We hope that everyone has a great summer. See you at Annual Meeting! On a more somber note, Norm Gilman, a longtime friend of the Sno- Birds passed away. He helped us raise money to get back on our feet after the theft of our TMA money and always gave us encouragement to keep going. He was a real man’s man. He will be missed. Rest in peace, Norm! Roy Arthur, Trailmaster www.shrewsburysnobirds.org Like us on Facebook Tweed Valley Travelers Now that it’s summertime, that means the to-do list for the club becomes longer. Early this spring, we were able to cross off the annual landowner dinner from our list. We had a great turnout and were glad to see so many landowners so we could thank them. Without them we would not have the trail system that we do. Most of our projects this year will be on a smaller scale. We have many trails that need to have brush cut back and trees removed to help widen them. Bridges need to be checked to make sure they are in top-notch condition for this upcoming season. Our groomer and drag also need to be serviced for the upcoming winter. The upcoming 49th VAST Annual Meeting has been keeping the officers of the club busy trying to find vendors to come and join us. Here’s hoping for a great year of riding! Ally Martin, Club News Correspondent www.tweedvalleytravelers.com Like us on Facebook Barre Town Thunder Chickens The off-season is keeping us quite busy as the officers and directors keep watch around various land sales and development in our region. Over the last few years we’ve been working with new landowners to establish rapport, learn their development plans WASHINGTON COUNTY
