2023 Summer Pavilion Project
For over twenty years, the Lamoille County Conservation District LCCD has been providing nature-based education through the Lamoille County Nature Center (LCNC), Mud City Forest school and our Forest Camp program. Days spent in the fields and woods allow children to develop a long and lasting relationship with nature that will inspire our future leaders and stewards of the land. It is approximately 40 acres in size and provides trails that include educational signage.
Every year we improve the infrastructure and accessibility to the grounds and every year we provide more curriculum materials for the youth that participate in the camp programs. One element that is sorely lacking is a permanent shelter for campers and a space to hold meetings and workshops for the Lamoille County Conservation District.

Our favorite part of the month is when Lamoille County Conservation District comes to visit! The kids love the hands-on activities and models that Emily brings. Our preschoolers wish she was here every day, and we always learn a lot from her.
My favorite thing about Forest School is exploring the forest with my friends. I love all the poems we write and crafts we do. It’s just fun and better than regular school!
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better
