The 2026 Bridging Communities rally on Monday, June 22 will provide regional trail interests and stakeholders an opportunity to share projects, strategies, and successes.
Held at Retreat Farm and co-hosted with Friends of Island Park (FOIP) and Friends of the West River Trail (FWRT), the 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM gathering will include representation from Southeast Vermont and the West River Valley, the Monadnock Region Rail Trail Collaborative, the Mass Central Rail Trail, the Burlington Bike Path, and more!
Exciting new, expanding, and possible projects will include:
- The Brattleboro Words Trail (new)
- A Connecticut River Sculpture Park (concept)
- Friends of Schell Bridge (awaiting new prefab bridge)
- The Connecticut River Valley Trail (proposed)
- The Wantastiquet-to-Monadnock Trail (established)

We look forward to sharing the exciting confluence of projects connecting southwest NH, southeast VT, and potentially Western Mass. Local projects now promise to elevate the Brattleboro Riverfront and Bridges Complex as an outdoor recreation hub and trail nexus for hundreds of miles of trail experiences.
What's next? How do we bike, walk, jog, and/or hike to that better future: Bridging Communities.
