In 2023, Montpelier’s North Branch Nature Center in Montpelier added an accessible trail to its trail network. The accessible trail is one piece of The Nature Connection Trail, funded by private donors, The Montpelier Foundation, The Vermont Arts Council, the State of Vermont’s Building Communities grant program, and Outdoor Gear Exchange and FPR’s Recreation Trails Program (RTP) grant. The trail has attracted many new visitors including people who use mobility aids, the visually impaired, and people pushing wheelchairs and strollers. Program leaders appreciate its width and solid surface, which makes it great for birding and insect observation.
