Vermont Adaptive purchases land for conservation and recreation
Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports is working to build the state's first adaptive outdoor center.
Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports will be settling into their new home after purchasing a 125-acre property in Rochester, VT. The farmland was purchased with support from Vermont Land Trust and Vermont Housing and Conservation Board. The move also preserves important forestland and historic landmarks in Rochester village.
Vermont Adaptive plans to build public mountain biking and hiking trails, a new building to host retreats, and accessible camping, restroom, and trailhead facilities. They also hope to provide housing to veterans and other athletes who are training at Sugarbush and Killington mountains.
A recent economic impact study from Vermont Adaptive and CRO Planning & Design found that the organization contributes $10.3 million to the state’s economy each year.
