It establishes our land management priorities, works with potential new landholdings and soon hope to begin nature education programs. We are always looking for folks who love our local woods and streams.

Trail Fest is our primary fund raiser and Carmen has made a substantial time commitment. She is a Realtor with ReMax.
Above & Beyond
Sandy & Ed Nadeau
Sandy and Ed have been loyal workers and supporters since 2017. From helping with silent auctions at our early fundraisers, sponsoring and volunteering at Trail Fest to their latest gift to the community, the Fairy House Walk here on the yellow trail. They found, bought and created all the fairy houses, financing the entire project for the children of the community. Sandy herself could be mistaken or a feisty fairy of the forest as she would sit surrounded by children as she read a story before taking them on the trail.
Community Hero
Bill Huston
Bill is a two time winner of an award for volunteering for ACT, which speaks volumes about the contributions that he has made. As a member of the Trailblazer committee, there is rarely an event that we hold where Bill isn't present. Whether its raking trails, building bridges, cutting new trails, or hauling catwalks, Bill always shows up at the beginning and stays until the end. And, he is one of the kindest men you'll ever meet.
