Guilford & Vernon, VT
The Agency of Natural Resources is currently developing a Long-Range Management Plan (LRMP) for Roaring Brook Wildlife Management Area (WMA) located in Guilfofrd and Vernon, Vermont. The WMA is made up of 1,460 acres broken up into eleven separate parcels. The bulk of the WMA was acquired in the early 1960's when Interstate 91 was being constructed.
The property is located in the southernmost portion of the Southern Vermont Piedmont biophysical region. Because of this southern location many of the natural communities found on the property are unique to Vermont. There are several wetlands within the WMA, and Roaring Brook flows through the center of the main parcel.
