The Spring 2020 Summit View is Here!

It’s a few weeks behind “schedule,” but spring’s Summit View is here! This issue contains a COVID-19 update on trails and programming, information about humane landscaping, and, as always, beautiful words and photos from the Friends of Mount A members. So much of the work we do couldn’t be done without the help of an incredible group of dedicated volunteers, and especially now, we are so thankful!

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Rachel of Schumacher Creative Design, who has been responsible for the design and layout of the Summit View since its inception. She also designed the logos for both the Conservation Program and the Friends of Mount A, and helped with the opening of the Learning Lodge, ten years ago! The bear silhouettes in the Bears’ Den and the Giving Tree are both her creations. Rachel, THANK YOU for volunteering your time and your talent to bring our ideas to life!

We Are Planning for the Future!

There is no doubt that Mount Agamenticus has been discovered! Over an estimated 50,000 people visit the area each year to enjoy its natural beauty, scenic vistas, and unique network of over 40 miles of trail. It has become apparent through visitor feedback, direct observation and vehicle traffic studies that use continues to increase and the area needs attention to address this growth.

Parking improvement and public restroom upgrades have been proposed for both the summit and base of Mount Agamenticus.  Visit the Planning for the Future page for more information about this project, including planning documents, photos, maps and video showcasing the work to date.
