Lake CHAMPLAIN: a Natural History Wins an IPPY

 Lake Champlain: A Natural History has won an IPPY Award from Independent Publishers.  The group recognizes the best independently published books of the year. This book tied for a silver for Best Regional Non-Fiction in the US Northeast.  Carolyn L. Bates Photography photographed the cover image from Mt Philo between huge thunderstorms over a two day period.  She has several photos inside as well.  Please go to LCC website: www.lakechamplaincommittee.org or call 802-658-1414 to buy a copy of this book.  It is absolutely marvelously written.  

The Beauty of Leddy Park

This Cherry Tree has to be the most beautiful tree in Leddy Park this spring. Hopefully we will be able to prevent any disc golf being in the park, and thus taking the chance that this tree will be cut down to make a path to a fairway.  If you want to help save the woodlands and this tree in Leddy Park, please go to www.leddypark.org.  Thank you.  Carolyn
