To support our legislative work and inform legislators of the value of outdoor recreation and trails, we partnered with FPR and VOBA to host the first annual Outdoor Recreation Day. Nearly 100 outdoor recreation organizations and businesses gathered for a day at the statehouse, sharing the importance of outdoor recreation through panel discussions and displays. After a short speech by Kelly Brush, founder of the Kelly Brush Foundation in the house chambers, lawmakers unanimously agreed to a Joint Resolution naming February 16 as “Vermont Outdoor Recreation Day”.
