Progress and Recovery on the Trail
W
e saw significant progress on major, long-sought
projects and challenging financial realities that
forced the club to make some tough decisions. Despite these challenges, the club remained
strong, vibrant, successful, and i­nspiring.
Continued progress was made toward building a footbridge
and relocating the Long Trail in the Winooski River ­Valley,
a project that when completed, will realize a dream first
­envisioned by the club in 1912. Speaking of club history, we
worked effectively with our partners to place ourselves in a
position to reintroduce hiking to Bolton Valley and restore
the unique and historic Bolton Lodge, built by the Burlington ­Section in 1928 and left behind when the Long Trail was
moved in the 1980s. The club also readied itself to improve
the l­ocation of the Long Trail in Smugglers’ Notch with the
achievable goal of eliminating the road walk altogether.
In the wake of Tropical Storm Irene we were able to success­
fully rebuild Thundering Falls Boardwalk along the
­Appalachian Trail in Killington, work to restore the Long/­
Appalachian Trail where it was washed away by the Cold River
in Shrewsbury, and repair and reopen the Bucklin Trail in
­Mendon with a mile-long reroute. Meanwhile, GMC volunteers continued their remarkable trail work along the Long
Trail, Appalachian Trail, and Northeast Kingdom trail system.
The squeeze was felt elsewhere in the club. While confronting a systemic operational ­deficit due to a decrease in public
funding and the increasing cost of doing business, the club
was forced to eliminate two important positions: director of
­marketing and director of conservation. These choices were
not made lightly. However, we were duty-bound to take
action to assure that the club can continue to live up to its obligations to its members and partners, and its trails and lands.
We are pleased to report that while the budget remained tight,
our overall membership continued to show strength, retaining over 10,000 members for the third straight year while our
business membership grew to nearly 100 members. The club’s
endowment continued to grow due to bequests and shelter
endowments by GMC members and strong growth in the value
of our investments.
Looking forward, we intend to complete the Winooski
Footbridge and trail relocation, complete trail relocations
in ­Smugglers’ Notch and on Dry Ridge located in Johnson,
return an observation tower to Bromley Mountain, repair older
­shelters, work to increase funding for caretakers, trail crew,
stewardship, education, and land protection, improve our
website and continue our growth in publications and social
media, and to have fun on the trails with our friends.
Thank you for all you do for Vermont’s trails.
The club continued to staff caretakers at high-use locations
such as Stratton Pond, Camel’s Hump, and Sterling Pond.
Nevertheless, public funding continues to shrink, placing an
uncomfortable squeeze on these vital programs. As a result, we
were unable to staff caretakers at sites previously covered.
Sincerely,
Jean Haigh Will Wiquist
President Executive Director

Managing Our Trails (or are they managing us?)
A
fter a drenching 2011 topped with Tropical Storm
Irene, we had what could only be called a drier
than normal field season in 2012. Almost all of our
projects were associated with recovery from the storm:
some that were postponed by the storm, others to fix its
wreckage, and others still that required extensive planning and were teed up for 2013 and beyond. Once we
got past the awkward side effects of the unprecedented
closure of the Green Mountain National Forest, our key
partners the US Forest Service, Vermont Department of
Forests, Parks and Recreation, and Appalachian Trail
Conservancy/National Park Service stepped up and
provided much-needed support, guidance, and funding
to bring the Long Trail and Vermont’s Appalachian Trail
much of the way back after the storm waters receded into
still harrowing memory.
Once the Smith property was acquired and added to
Mount Mansfield State Forest, our field staff and volunteers took the first steps toward turning a dream into a
footpath in the Winooski Valley. Boundary lines were
marked and trail flag lines were honed in time for the
first walk-throughs with GMC volunteer leaders in the
fall. And the process of collecting permits for our bridge
project in Bolton accelerated throughout the year.
The trails would quickly fade back into the Green
Mountains’ all-encompassing forest and would not exist
without all the careful tending and guidance from our
1,000-strong volunteer force.

Protecting Trail Lands

he Green Mountain Club continued to strive for complete, permanent, public protection for every mile of the
Long Trail. Much of the focus in recent years has been on
the Winooski River Valley in an effort to secure a permanent
corridor for the trail to align with the forthcoming footbridge
over the river. The club continued to make progress toward
purchasing two more properties to improve the route that does
already have a secure corridor.
GMC partnered with the Friends of Bolton Valley, Vermont
Land Trust, the State of Vermont, and others to help in the
conservation of a 1,144-acre parcel which includes popular
Nordic ski trails. The club offered to establish and manage
hiking trails within the property which was home to the Long
Trail itself for about seventy years. The club also plans to renovate and manage the unique Bolton Lodge which the Burlington Section built in 1928 and may play a role in management
of Bryant Camp, a historic ski cabin in the woods.
We made significant progress in negotiations with the
A. Johnson Company on an easement for the Long Trail along
Dry Ridge north of Bear Hollow Shelter. With an agreement on
this parcel, the club will be most of the way toward securing
a permanent route for the trail off of West Settlement Road in
Johnson.
Bryant Camp
he club now has seventy volunteer corridor monitors
watching over 25,000 acres of Long Trail lands and
10,000 acres of Appalachian Trail lands.
GMC was notified that ATV riders had returned to Davis
Neighborhood in Johnson and had disabled the gate and the
boulders that prevent vehicles from driving up the Davis
Neighborhood Trail. GMC worked with our partners at the
Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation to repair the gate
and restore the boulders.
Field staff began repainting the Appalachian Trail boundary
lines from the Cloudland Road in Pomfret to Route 14 in West
Hartford. The crew was able to complete half of the work and
will return in the summer of 2013 to finish. Boundary reclamation also occurred on the Long/Appalachian Trail between
Bear Mountain and Minerva Hinchey Shelter in Clarendon.
The fourth season of sustainable timber harvesting has been
completed on the GMC-owned Meltzer Tract in Lowell. GMC’s
work on this parcel continues to improve forest health while
generating revenue from the sale of saw logs and firewood
that will heat the Visitor Center and the Back 40 (field staff
common quarters) over the next several winters. This project
continues to demonstrate that a working landscape and hiking
can be compatible.
The Governor’s Energy Siting Commission released its recommendations in April. The Commission was appointed by
Governor Peter Shumlin as a result of GMC’s efforts along with
several other prominent conservation organizations. The club
looks forward to working with the Commission and the Legislature in the coming year to increase protection of the Long
Trail from industrial-scale energy developments.

Members, Sections & Volunteers
T
he Green Mountain Club welcomed 1,588 new voting
members, ensuring steady growth in the club’s membership. Volunteers logged a herculean 23,956 hours adopting trails, doing trail work, working in the office, serving on
committees, donating their creative talents, and performing
other important duties that keep the Long Trail System in top
shape. One hundred sixty-four hikers completed the entire
Long Trail and received end-to-end certificates.

Major Gatherings
102nd Annual Meeting held at Jay Peak Resort was hosted by
the Northeast Kingdom and Northern Frontier Sections. President Marge Fish handed the gavel to Jean Haigh, who became
GMC’s forty-first president. Executive Director Will Wiquist
remarked on the developing plans for the Winooski footbridge
and trail relocation. Michael Chernick, Luke O’Brien, and Jean
Haigh were honored with President’s Awards while former
Executive Director Ben Rose was presented with an Honorary
Life Membership.
Annual Volunteer Appreciation Picnic: More than 100 volun-
teers, members, and staff gathered at the Visitor Center to
celebrate the work that volunteers had done on the Long
Trail System over the past year. Long-time field volunteer Jim
Sullivan won the Volunteer of the Year award for his tireless
commitment to trail maintenance.
Sections continue to do a great job. Our fourteen local sections
hosted events and Taylor Series presentations, recruited new
GMC members and volunteers, led outings and maintenance
trips, and more.
Snowshoe Festival
17th Annual Snowshoe Festival: Over 200 people assembled
at the Visitor Center for guided snowshoe tours, children’s
­activities, educational workshops, nature walks, live music,
refreshments, a raffle and a bonfire. Area businesses and GMC
supporters joined in to help make this a great day.
Third Annual Mud Season Egg Hunt: Children broke into two
groups and searched for hidden treats—a fun, low-elevation
activity during mud season that drew over 250 people. Laughing Moon Chocolates of Stowe provided the goodies and
co-sponsored this successful event which attracted a younger
audience, many of whom knew very little about the club and
had never visited the GMC campus.

wenty adult outdoor skills workshops were attended
by 264 people. Topics included Map and Compass,
SOLO Wilderness First Aid, Cold Weather Trekking,
Hiking and Yoga, and a new interactive, live broadcast
­version of our popular End-to-Ender Workshop.
21st Annual James P. Taylor Outdoor Adventure Series attract-
ed well over 500 attendees. Participants enjoyed slide shows
of trips to a variety of locations, from the Moosalamoo area
of the Green Mountain National Forest to the Swiss Alps.
Youth Education
Young Adventurers Club (YAC)
e­ xpanded from the founding
Montpelier Section YAC to newly
formed groups in the Bread Loaf
and M
­ anchester sections.
Successful Long Trail Bound Educator Summit held for both formal
and informal educators, facilitated
by Jane Dorney from the Vermont
­Geographic Alliance and John
Zaber, an experienced outdoor
­educator from Sterling College.
Education Outreach efforts connected GMC with approxi-
mately 300 educators throughout the state teaching them
about the Long Trail Bound program and the Long Trail
System.
Outdoor Adventure Camp: GMC staff in collaboration with
Waterbury Parks and Recreation taught pre-teens Leave
No Trace principles, basic safety preparedness, map and
compass skills, the history of the Long Trail and Vermont
natural history.
Two new educational videos are available for viewing on the
Long Trail Bound YouTube Channel: Basic First Aid on the
Trail and Going for the GORP, a film about hiking nutrition.
Group Outreach Program connected with more than 900 individuals. A mass e-mail targeting audiences such as: colleges,
scouts, camps and outfitters to encourage them to submit
their hiking itineraries and prepay for shelter use was sent
early in the season. The response was terrific. Caretaker
feedback forms to evaluate group use on the trail were revised enabling us to collect more concrete and useable data.
• Fifty-plus organizations, with a total of 150 individual
groups, backpacked on the Long Trail bringing over
1,000 hikers into the backcountry.
• Seventeen groups and 163 volunteers participated in
service trips on the Long Trail and side trails.
• Long Trail Bound website had over 3,000 views with
66.7% new visitors and 33.5% returning.
he Green Mountain Club finished the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2013, with an operational surplus for the fifth
year in a row.
Net assets increased by 10% to $9.8 million. The value of our
endowment increased from $3.68 million to $4.08 million, a
gain of 11%, as a result of investment gains plus contributions.
Assets consist of land and easements, $2.54 million (25%);
endowment funds, $4.08 million (40%); headquarters, field
housing, and the Lamoille River bridge, $2.32 million (23%);
pledges receivable, $73,576 (1%); and cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and inventory, $1.15 million (11%).
Total assets were $10.2 million, offset by liabilities of $397,444.
The operational surplus was $184,981. Operational income,
which includes funds released from accounts restricted to
particular purposes such as the Winooski River footbridge as
well as distributions from the endowment, increased by 4.3%,
while operational expenses increased by 3.0%. More than
80% of the club’s operating expenditures continue to be
in direct support of the Long Trail System, Northeast Kingdom
Trails, education and member services. Fundraising, facilities
and administration account for the rest.
In conclusion, the club finished fiscal year 2013 on a sound
­financial footing, with a recovery in investment markets
helping our endowment. Future years will probably p
­ resent
greater challenges, as the trend of diminishing government
support for trail construction and maintenance on state and
federal lands appears likely to continue. However, our development efforts are bearing fruit, thanks to the generosity of
our members and other supporters. It is reasonable to hope
that our endowment will eventually contribute even more to
our financial stability than it does today.

Ridgeline Society—
The Green Mountain Club’s Major Donor Program
T
he Green Mountain Club welcomes donors
of $1,000 or more as members of our
Ridgeline Society. As the most generous
contributors to our general operating fund,
these donors are provided with complimentary
GMC annual membership, and they receive
­copies of all new GMC guidebooks, maps, and
other publications. And every autumn the GMC
president and executive director host an outing
and reception to share our thanks. In 2012, we
gathered on a beautiful October day to visit
­Beaver Meadow Lodge in the Sterling Range,
and we continued the fun back at the GMC
Visitor Center with presentations about the new
Northeast Kingdom trails and a historic look
at the Long Trail’s route through the Winooski
River Valley. It is always wonderful to spend
time with this great group of GMC champions.
The following members of the Ridgeline Society
generously contributed $1,000 or more in fiscal
year 2013 to support the GMC and ­Vermont’s
Long Trail.

Fundraising for the Future
of the Long Trail System
Leaving a Legacy for the Green Mountain Club
T
he Long Trail Legacy Society was launched in 2008 to acknowledge the many individuals who have made a planned gift to
the GMC, either by including us in their estate plans or by
naming us as a beneficiary of a charitable gift annuity or life insurance policy. Over fifty members have joined the program to date. By
making a planned gift, these members have made a commitment to
leave a legacy to the GMC that will enable us to maintain and protect
the Long Trail System for future generations.
A Footbridge for the Long Trail
over the Winooski River
D
uring the past few years, the Green Mountain Club has been
raising funds to build a footbridge over the Winooski River
in Bolton to finally provide a permanent and appropriate
route for the trail through the valley. In all, this historic project
will cost over $1.6 million. We were fortunate to have several early
funders—including former GMC caretaker Daan Zwick and the State
of Vermont—who helped us get this project off the ground. Since
beginning our current fundraising effort, many hundreds of GMC
members have contributed over $500,000 to the cause. In early 2013,
we met a $50,000 challenge match in just twenty days. To each and
every one of our members who have donated time, funds, or both,
we say: THANK YOU!
Our recent fundraising success has been truly inspiring, but we
still have more to raise. At the writing of this report, we are only
about $50,000 short of full project funding. Please consider a gift
today to help us close this gap.
Many Thanks to Our Donors
The Green Mountain Club gratefully a­ cknowledges those
who contributed between May 1, 2012 and April 30, 2013,
in support of our general operations and/or the Winooski
Crossing Project.

Communications and Publications
Strong media coverage: Numerous reports
were released about progress in repairs
to Tropical Storm Irene-related trail and
bridge damage, the club’s leadership in
establishing a gubernatorial commission on
energy development siting policies, repairs
to Glen Ellen Lodge, Winter hiking tips, the
Winooski bridge project, the Hiking with
Dogs YouTube videos, and the release of
Downloadable Hikes.
Long Trail News:
The club’s print
magazine the Long
Trail News continued to be the mainstay of the club’s
membership communication efforts.
This top-quality
publication was
mailed quarterly
to approximately 8,000 households and was
available at GMC events and to hikers who
stopped into the Visitor Center.
Visitor Center continued to welcome steady
flow of guests: The Visitor Center remained
the hub of on-campus GMC hosted events
such as Snowshoe Festival, Mud Season
Egg Hunt and Volunteer Appreciation
Picnic. Visitors from places such as Germany, Switzerland, England, Nova Scotia,
and California travelled to Vermont to hike
our trails. Our knowledgeable hiker center
staff assisted over 4,500 visitors by providing advice on trails in the area and around
the state and by answering their questions
about the the Long Trail, the role of GMC
and its important place in Vermont history.
Online audiences grow: The club continues
to have a strong social media community
with more than 6,000 Facebook and more
than 2,000 Twitter followers. eBlaze the
club’s electronic newsletter reached more
than 8,000 active email addresses with
about thirty percent of recipients opening
the e-mails monthly.
Publications
Fiscal year 2013 was a year of transition and
future development for the publications
program. With people migrating to a fully
electronic platform of media consumption,
the Publications Committee, in conjunction
with members of the Marketing Committee, conducted significant research into the
­options available in the marketplace. Significant progress was also made on printed
materials. • Eleven individual downloadable hikes
were released with moderate success
• GMC has the ability to release both
eBook and print versions of all future
books • A request for proposal for the creation
of a mobile application was created and
released (Due to cost constraints this
platform was temporarily tabled.)
• Winter Hiking Guide to Vermont,
End-to-Ender’s Guide, Mount Mansfield
and Worcester Range Map expected to
be released in 2014
• Number of GMC Publications: 17
• Units Sold FY 13: 14,736
• Downloadable Hikes: 11
had another year of reduced utility bills
thanks to our renewable energy systems.
We heated our Visitor Center and field
staff common quarters including all of our
domestic hot water for a full year with only
ten cords of firewood. Our solar electric
system generated 46,716.2 kilowatt hours
of clean electricity that was sent into the
grid—the equivalent annual consumption
to ten average Vermont households. Our
system not only completely offset GMC’s

the utility generating additional revenue to
support the upkeep and maintenance of our
Waterbury Center Campus.
GMC Meeting Hall Rentals: Rental business
for the Meeting Hall did very well in 2012.
Our space has become a popular place for
