WILMINGTON — Wilmington Works secured a grant to turn the field and trails behind the Old School Community into a winter wonderland for snowshoe users and children.
“We jumped on it,” said Meg Staloff, coordinator for the downtown organization, “because during the pandemic, it’s really important for people to get out and exercise, and it’s much more difficult in Wilmington.”
Staloff described the local landscape being “hilly” and challenging for those not inclined to hiking in the mountains. The project site is flat and more ideal for snowshoe beginners.
Wilmington Works was one of three Vermont groups to receive $3,000 in grants from AARP Vermont for Winter Placemaking Demonstration Projects. The program focuses on “creating public spaces and streets that are safe and accessible for everyone,” and “aims to help communities build social capital that can help lead to permanent change that supports healthy, active lifestyles for people of all ages and abilities,” according to a news release from AARP Vermont.
