Memorial forest in Sandgate gains tax relief and access
The Sandgate acres, now a memorial forest donated to a Vermont foundation, will not be sold or developed. Taxes have risen after a recent reassessment, but a small endowment from Mrs. Scott should cover the bill. The land will be open for hunting, hiking, and snowmobiling with no overnight camping or fires.
