Funding appears likely to make Egg Mountain a Vermont State Forest, BCRC hears
Summary
BCRC staff member Jim Henderson told commissioners that funding appears likely to result in Egg Mountain — a 2,700-acre historic property — becoming a Vermont State Forest; he provided background on the site and thanked partners involved in the preservation effort.
Jim Henderson announced at the May 21 BCRC meeting that funding appeared likely to lead to Egg Mountain becoming a Vermont State Forest. Henderson provided background on the site’s history and described the property as a 2,700-acre parcel under consideration for state forest designation, and he thanked individuals at BCRC and state partners who have worked on the preservation effort.
The minutes record the announcement as an update rather than a completed transaction: Henderson said funding “appeared likely” to enable the preservation, indicating that additional steps or confirmations are still required before a formal state designation or acquisition is finalized. No specific funding sources, dollar amounts, or implementation timelines were recorded in the minutes.
