Green Mountain Conservation Camp

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

The Wallingford Conservation Commission is supporting the Green Mountain Conservation Camp by donating $250 towards their Scholarship Fund to help youth attend their camp. You must register and apply for a scholarship directly through the VT. Fish & Wildlife Department.

GMCC offers hands-on learning experiences about fish, wildlife, ecology, botany, forestry, hunter firearm safety, outdoor first aid, and so much more.

GMCC offers opportunities for hiking, canoeing, fishing, archery, .22 rifle and shotgun shooting, orienteering, and other fun activities. Campers have a unique opportunity to meet Vermont State Game Wardens, foresters, fisheries and wildlife biologists, and others who work in the outdoors.

Wildlife education and outdoor skills are the focus of GMCC and the program’s goal is to cultivate a caring attitude among our youth for Vermont’s fish and wildlife resources.

If you have a child, age 12-16 interested in attending the one-week camp, more information can be found at: https://vtfishandwildlife.com/learn-more/gmcc. They encourage early registration.

Recycle Cardboard

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

Transfer station employees would like to remind Wallingford residents Zero Sort can only accept cardboard 36 inches or less. Larger than 36 inches clogs up the unit. Transfer station employees would appreciate it if residents cut down cardboard to the appropriate size before you arrive at the facility as it will help operations flow smoothly and employees are not given that task.

Your cooperation  is very much appreciated.
