Ever shot high-power rifle on fully electronic targets? There will be at least 30 of these targets on 2 different ranges, so matches move along fast and there is no pit service needed. Food and onsite lodging is available by prearrangement, and if you don't know about CEATS/EAFR, it is one of the premier ranges in the NE.

Important Outdoor Use Survey - Your Input is Needed

Friend -- Vermont's Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) is being updated! What is the SCORP? The SCORP is a plan which assesses the provision and need for outdoor recreation in a state. States are required to update their SCORP every five years to remain eligible to receive federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, as well the federal Recreational Trails Program funds. The plan guides outdoor recreation policies, programs and funding for projects. If you want to you can read the last SCORP  to get a sense of the type of information it gathers here: https://fpr.vermont.gov/sites/fpr/files/Recreation/Recreation_Grants/Library/SCORP%202014-2018.pdf How can I get involved? 1. Take the online public input survey.   The survey will be available online from August 8th- September 2nd, 2019. I did this online and it was quick and painless with opportunities to comment beyond just checking a pre-generated box. 2. Attend an open-house style public meeting: Monday August 19th,  6-8 pm, Brattleboro Central Fire Station Tuesday, August 27th, 6-8 pm, Thatcher Brook School Gymnasium, Waterbury 3.

I hope everyone will engage this as it will guide recreation funding to a significant degree in the coming years.
