SUMMARY:Unplowed Realities
DESCRIPTION:Unplowed Realities examines farms\, land\, and animals as interconnected systems of survival\, care\, and resilience at a time when small farmers face mounting economic and environmental pressures. \nThrough portraiture\, Joan O’Neal explores the animal gaze\, positioning the dairy cow as a subject rather than a resource. Her portraits invite us to consider empathy\, labor\, vulnerability\, and our relationships with other species. \nGeorge Shenk\, community activist\, experimental farmer\, writer\, and creative\, explores the human labor of sustaining small farms and the vital connections between land\, food\, animals\, and community. \nTogether\, their work asks us to reconsider how we value land\, labor\, food\, and life and reminds us that ecological health and community well-being are deeply connected.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Mountain Work Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer Mountain Work Days will once again utilize pre-registration and limit the total group size. Space is extremely limited\, don’t wait\, register online! \nAny minors that register must be at least 12 years of age\, accompanied by their legal guardian/parent throughout the day\, no dogs or swinging tools (hatchet\, axe\, maul) are allowed. \nGeneral information:  The purpose of Volunteer Mountain Work Days is the maintenance of MRG’s legendary tree skiing and regeneration zones in our mountain forest. This involves cutting lines as well as setting aside areas for new trees to grow. Everything is done with hand tools. Work days are organized and led by Lars Bruns in consultation with ski area management. Volunteer Mountain Work Days are a great chance to get out on the mountain\, care for your favorite terrain\, and learn about how northeastern mountain forests grow. It is hard work\, but also fun and satisfying to see a ski line take shape\, and how trees will grow in response to care. \nWe welcome both experienced veterans and newcomers to the mountain work days. Each person who works a full day receives a complimentary day pass voucher for each day she or he works. \nSummer/Fall 2026 Schedule \n\nAugust 8th\nSeptember 26th\nOctober 10th\nOctober 24th\n\n  \nLogistics \n\nReport at 9:00 am at the Cricket Club picnic table.  We’re back down at 3:30 – 4:00 pm.\nMost of the time we hike from the base\, so be physically fit and prepared to hike the mountain top to bottom.\nMost days are held rain or shine – Working in the rain is fun!\nBring work gloves\, hiking boots\, drinks & lunch.\nLoppers are the most useful tool to bring. Make sure they are in good working order.\nWork days navigate our gnarly terrain; no dogs or kids under 12 please. Minors under the age of 18 must register and be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.\n\nThe incidence of Lyme Disease is increasing rapidly in Vermont. This disease is debilitating and hard to get rid of. More Info on how to protect yourself while thrashing around the woods of Stark Mountain. \nThe following tools are not allowed: All power tools such as chain saws\, and swinging tools such as hatchets or axes. \nOutfitting for Rain Events: \n\nOuter layer – The primary function is to hold in heat\, as well as keep water out for as long as possible.\n\nGoretex shell or other rainwear\nWaterproof pant shell – old ski pants work well\nWaterproof gaiters (Goretex)\nWaterproof boots beforehand\nBrimmed synthetic hat and fleece hat\nIf the weather is warm\, then staying warm is not a problem.
