VT Fish & Wildlife Working in Cavendish: VT Fish and wildlife continues improving public and management access to the Moriglioni rd approach in Cavendish on Knapp Brook WMA. The recent floods stripped away the surface layer of the access road and caused other minor damage. Minor because we had the road properly water barred. However, in an effort to further protect the road and improve the  surface for hunters, walkers and snowmobilers, we have spread and shaped 800 cubic yards of crushed stone. The intent is to have the road open in fall to a small parking area for improved hunting access and to smooth out the deep water bars that have been difficult for snowmachines. This project will also continue to improve stream ecology by reducing road runoff to zero.

Proctorsville Fire Dept Becomes a Licensed VT State Medical Non-Transport Agency:  PVFD now has 13 Firefighters that have recently completed the VT Emergency First Responder Course.
