Celebrate New Year’s Day in Central Vermont outdoors. Across the nation the park service is instigating New Year’s Day hikes and if you are in Central Vermont over the holidays you are in luck, as you are located near some of the state’s greatest parks.

This is the time of year when most of us are thinking about our New Year’s resolutions, how to be healthier and how to get in better shape. Luckily all of us in Central Vermont have a great opportunity to start 2012 out on the right foot, outdoors and active!

New Year’s Day Hikes:

  • At Little Rover State Park in Waterbury Vermont there will be a hike at 10 am and noon.
  • At the Groton Nature Center in Groton Vermont and the Molly Stark State Park in Wilmington Vermont hikes will begin at 10 am.
  • Would-be hikers will meet at the Kettle Pond parking area in the Groton State Forest in Groton Vermont at 11 am for a hike.
  • Hikes at Underhill State Park in Underhill Vermont, Kingsland Bay State Park in Ferrisburgh Vermont, Gifford Woods State Park in Killington Vermont, and Woodford State Park in Bennington Vermont will start at 1 pm.

Whether you want to sleep in or get up early you can find a hike that will suit your needs in Vermont. Some are closer, some further away, but regardless our Central Vermont area affords everyone the opportunity to get outdoors and be active on the first of the year.

Central Vermont Shelters Could Get More Help

Central Vermont shelters could get more help if a Vermont Congressman has his way. Being a small state has its advantages, but when it comes to shelters for the homeless it’s another story. Vermont, and other small states, receive only $300,000 annually in federal funding. When you divide this up between the number of shelters in the state it can be of no surprise that any shelter in Central Vermont is sadly underfunded.

The Good Samaritan Haven, a homeless shelter in Barre Vermont, is filled to capacity and then some. Congressman Peter Welch from Vermont is making his rounds and doing what he can to change federal funding options for smaller states, states which he sees getting short shrift when it comes to funding for the homeless. In larger populations the number of homeless are more obvious, but just because you come from a smaller state does not make the issue any less important. Welch’s goal is to increase smaller state’s aid by $400,000.

The homeless shelter in Barre has been used as a stepping stone for many people caught in unfortunate circumstances. The ability to have a place to regroup is of the essence to get ahead, and the shelter in Barre has served that purpose for many individuals in the Central Vermont community.
