MOUNT HOLLY, Vt. – The Mount Holly Conservation Trust (MHCT) is pleased to announce that it is the recipient of a $3,000 grant from Killington Resort’s Upward & Outward Sustainability & Community Giving initiative. The grant recognizes MHCT’s work preserving habitat critical to local flora and fauna, preserving the scenic beauty of our countryside, and creating and expanding opportunities for outdoor recreation, all of which make Vermont such a great place to live and visit.
MHCT’s president, Brigid Sullivan, said, “We are truly grateful to Killington for its generous grant, and especially for the recognition that it represents. Gifts like this are essential for us to continue our work and, as an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, every dollar is used solely for that purpose.” Additional information about MHCT and its work may be found on its website, www.mounthollyconservationtrust.org.
Killington’s donation to MHCT is the sum of the registration fees that contestants paid to participate in Killington’s Superstar Showdown event in May, plus a matching contribution from Killington itself. The event is a contest to log the most vertical feet skied or snowboarded in a single day on the resort’s black diamond Superstar trail.
