Protecting the White River Landscape

A Royalton-based nonprofit, the White River Partnership, will host the first Landscape Auction in the United States on August 14, 2010 at Vermont Technical College in Randolph Center. A Landscape Auction is a live auction that allows individuals, groups, and businesses to “adopt” elements of a landscape in need of conservation. The WRP is using the Landscape Auction mechanism to help conserve the working landscape in the White River watershed. Please join Mary Russ, WRP Executive Director, to learn more about this innovative financial tool for conservation.

Knitting Group

Knitters, crocheters, quilters - and other crafters, are all welcome to the Monday Evening Knitting Group at Kimball Library. Knitters at all levels are invited to join this casual group at any time between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Monday evenings. This is a good way to get that project finished, or get help with the tough part, or simply enjoy the camaraderie of other knitters.
