COVID-19 TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
Greetings from Rock River Preservation. We appreciate your willingness to respect current travel restrictions and your help in keeping up good neighbor relations with our allies in the Rock River area during this extraordinary time.

The state of Vermont regularly updates its COVID-19 website with details on travel restrictions. Out-of-state residents are urged to check the site before making any plans to travel to Vermont: https://www.vermontvacation.com/travel-restrictions. In short, a quarantine is currently required of all visitors to Vermont. Further information is available on our visitors page.

Picture

The Land and The River

Rock River is a beautiful tributary of the Connecticut River in Southern Vermont.  When folks speak of "Rock River", they're often referring to the wilderness trails and "beaches" alongside the lower reaches of this river.  Rock River Preservation, Inc. is a group of volunteers who took the initiative to conserve this land.  We continue to proudly maintain it for future generations!  Please see our visitors page for further information and guidelines.

The Community

Rock River Preservation strives to maintain a collaborative relationship with adjacent landowners and the communities of Newfane and Dummerston, through which Rock River passes. We oversee regular maintenance and cleanup of the trails and swimming holes of Rock River Preservation, Inc.-owned land. We post rules for responsible use of the river by visitors and coordinate a stewardship program through which these are communicated and administered. We take an active role in suppressing non-native plant species that appear on the land. We are proud to make annual donations to the local first first responder agencies who keep our community safe.

Take part in the ongoing preservation
of Rock River!

Volunteer!
Rock River Preservation needs help from dedicated individuals for our regular trail maintenance and cleanup work. Please email us to sign up for our newsletter to hear about opportunities as they're announced.
Steward!
Rock River Preservation has designated some regular visitors as River Stewards. These individuals guide those who are new to the River in using it in a responsible way. If you are interested in taking on such a role, please contact us!
Donate!
Maintaining our land is not free! Annual expenses total several thousand dollars, including insurance, contributions to local first responders, and taxes (yes, even as a nonprofit organization, we pay local property taxes!). If your budget allows, please contribute to our regular annual expense fund or our long-term endowment, which exists to ensure our stability for years to come.
