Help us find the next all-star state parks team and receive a 10-punch day use pass

By -

Parks may be cold, but recruitment season is heating up! We know there are incredible future park staff in each and every one of our communities and we can’t operate our parks without great people! To make sure our future state parks all-stars have their chance to shine, we need your help to spread the word to every corner of Vermont. Our goal is to hang fliers in every county in the state, in every community location possible. That’s where you come in. We are looking for volunteers to flyer around the state and in return, volunteers will receive a free 10-punch day use pass that never expires.

 How do can you participate?

  • Request to be part of the program by emailing parks@vermont.gov your name, mailing address, and phone number and indicate which county you wish to flyer.
  • Hang 20 Vermont State Parks employment posters on sanctioned bulletin boards and other appropriate locations (with permission when required) in your community and surrounding communities. Great locations might include country stores, libraries, post offices, town halls, diners, schools, community centers, clubs, civic halls—anywhere people gather and a bulletin board is available!
  • Upon completion, submit your list of 20 locations where posters have been placed via a survey sent to you.
  • Once verified, you will receive your 10-punch pass in the mail to enjoy free day use entry.

 Check the list below to see which counties still have available slots

  First Day Hikers stand in front of Butler Lodge in 2023. Start the new year on the right foot with a hike in the great outdoors. On January 1, 2024, everyone is once again invited to join a free, guided, family-friendly hike taking place at many state parks, state forests, and other public lands across Vermont. Hikes are led by professional guides and outdoor educators eager to share their knowledge and love of Vermont’s outdoors. Don’t need a guide? No matter where you live in Vermont, a state park or state forest is always close by, and you can still get outside to enjoy it. State Park entry is free on New Year’s Day (and all winter long). You’ll discover a whole new world in winter.  First Day Hikers warm up at the CCC shelter at Owl's Head. Please pre-register by contacting hike leaders ahead of time. On hike day dress for the weather and bring snowshoes if the snow is deep, and micro-spikes or traction aids in case of ice. Please also bring beverages and snacks. In the event
