Camels Hump Park Expands by 355 Acres in Honey Hollow
Vermont's Camels Hump State Park will grow by 385 acres in Honey Hollow through Green Mountain Profile Committee and Nature Conservancy efforts. The land adds to the preserve’s wild flora and wildlife, with state ownership for hiking and cross country skiing. The committee funded half of the $31,000 purchase, complemented by a federal grant to reach a $42,000 land price, and a right of first refusal for additional lands. The initiative promotes wise mountain land use and ecology education, with regional acquisitions totaling thousands of acres and school outreach underway. The Green Mountain Profile Committee, part of the Vermont Nature Conservancy, notes its broader impact in protecting Green Mountains habitats.
