Vermont Youth Hunters Participate in Deer Conservation Program

Vermont Youth Hunters Participate in Deer Conservation Program

Young Vermonters are engaging in a supervised deer hunt as part of a youth hunting weekend, which precedes the official hunting season. This initiative aims to educate young individuals on hunting practices and contribute to a broader deer conservation project. Hunters are required to bring their harvested deer to designated check stations, such as the one at Back Country Sports in St. Albans. At these stations, biologists from Vermont Fish and Wildlife, alongside University of Vermont students, collect crucial data by weighing each deer, measuring its antlers, and extracting teeth. This process transforms the young hunters into 'citizen scientists,' providing valuable information about the state's deer population. For instance, 12-year-old Harper Couture successfully harvested a nearly 120-pound deer with assistance from her father, Josh Couture, highlighting the program's hands-on learning approach. The data gathered during this weekend helps biologists assess the deer herd before the general hunting sea...

Mild Weather and Rain Delay Snow in Northeast

Mild Weather and Rain Delay Snow in Northeast

The Northeast is experiencing unseasonably mild weather, with rain showers dominating the forecast through Saturday, November 7, 2026. Temperatures in mountain areas are expected to reach the 50s to lower 60s °F (10-16 °C), limiting opportunities for natural snowfall and productive snowmaking. A gradual cooling trend is forecast from Sunday into early next week, with minor snow coatings possible in higher elevations, particularly in northern Vermont. However, daytime melting and near-freezing temperatures will restrict snow preservation. Strong west to northwest winds, with gusts of 40-60 mph, are expected Monday, especially at Sugarloaf. Ski resorts in the region remain closed, with Killington ruling out opening this weekend and prohibiting uphill access. Colder nights later next week may improve snowmaking conditions, but the mid-November outlook suggests drier weather and a return to above-normal temperatures.

Moderate Drought Conditions Expand to Cover Nearly a Third of Vermont

Moderate Drought Conditions Expand to Cover Nearly a Third of Vermont

Moderate drought conditions have significantly expanded across Vermont, now affecting nearly a third of the state. According to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor report, 32% of Vermont is experiencing moderate drought, a substantial increase from 14% just one week prior. This expansion follows a period of below-normal rainfall throughout much of the region. Over the past 90 days, parts of Vermont have received only 50% to 75% of their typical rainfall amounts, although some northern areas have experienced closer to normal precipitation levels. Neighboring New Hampshire has also seen an increase in moderate drought, growing from 33% to 40% over the same one-week period. Drought conditions in Vermont have fluctuated over the past year, with this recent expansion occurring after a period of improvement during the summer months.

Vermont Launches Rural Technical Assistance Program to Support Community Development

Vermont Launches Rural Technical Assistance Program to Support Community Development

Vermont has initiated the Rural Technical Assistance Program (RTAP) to empower its rural communities in addressing challenges and pursuing development opportunities. The program aims to bring together state, regional, and local partners to provide coordinated support, flexible funding, and access to technical expertise. Many small towns in Vermont face growing challenges, limited staff capacity, and increasing uncertainty in advancing community priorities. RTAP offers meaningful, flexible grants for community and economic development projects, hands-on guidance to connect towns with resources and partners, and continuous learning to strengthen the program and improve statewide technical assistance delivery. The program works through an established network of providers, including VCRD, Regional Planning Commissions, and the Vermont League of Cities and Towns.
