New land acquired in Berlin for town forest

The Town of Berlin purchased 115 acres of forest that the Perrin family conserved with the Vermont Land Trust. The land will be added to the Berlin Town Forest known as Irish Hill and fills a missing piece to connect more than 1,000 acres of conserved forestland. It will be permanently open to the public for recreation and education, including hiking, walking, birdwatching, cross-country skiing, hunting, snowshoeing and wildlife observation.
