MANCHESTER, Vt. – Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning (GMALL) welcomes Nate McKeen, director of Vermont State Parks, to talk about the past, present, and future of Vermont’s State Park system. Our mighty little state is blessed with a high number of state parks. At 100 years, the park system is taking stock of how it got to this point, and looking forward to what is ahead. McKeen will share information about the park system, the significance of the centennial celebration, and what was learned from the recent comprehensive Parks Modernization Study. We will also learn about Vermont Parks Forever, the nonprofit partnering foundation of Vermont State Parks. This talk will also be available online via live stream. For more information or to register, please call our office at 802-867-0111 or visit www.greenmtnacademy.org.
