Green Woodlands Foundation

We’re often asked whether we accept donations or how people can contribute to Green Woodlands Foundation. Until now, we haven’t had any fundraising efforts.

 

As you might know, it takes a lot of equipment to keep everything running around here. We have mini excavators that help us build our mountain bike trails, grooming equipment to help with our ski trails, and so much more. And, well, some of our equipment is getting pretty long in the tooth.

 

If you visited us skiing last winter, you might have noticed our Skandic grooming snowmobiles broken down on the side of the trail, or being towed back to the barn. While these machines have served us well over the years and assisted in many kilometers of groomed trails and smiling skiers, they have reached the end of their lifecycle and are in need of replacement.

 

This will be our first time reaching out to the public to assist with raising money for the foundation, to help us cover the cost of a Ski Doo utility snowmobile. This machine will be used to supplement our main grooming machines, the Bombardier and Rabbit, to groom under certain conditions or areas that prohibit the use of those larger machines.

 

We’d love it if you can take a moment to make a contribution, or spread the word by sharing this so we can reach our fundraising goal. Thanks so much, Green Woodlands

We’re launching our second-ever fundraising effort– this time to help cover the cost of our new-to-us groomer.

As many of you know, it takes a great deal of time and equipment to keep the ski trails in top condition. After a recent rain, the trails were wrecked and not fit for skiing. We tried using our old groomer, but it literally wasn’t scratching the surface. We quickly scrambled to put signs up and let the community know that we were closed.

Then a new hero came to the rescue. We were recently able to purchase a new-to-us PistenBully groomer from our friends at Dartmouth Cross Country Ski Center. And boy, was this its time to shine! The whole team worked twelve-hour days, and with the help of the PistenBully, not only were we able to re-open quickly, the feedback we heard out on the trails made it clear what a huge difference it made.

Just 24 hours after having to close the trails, people who had skied with us for years said the trails were the best they’d ever experienced. Shows what an impact this new groomer is already making!

We’re hoping the community can help us cover half the cost of this groomer. We’d love it if you can take a moment to donate or spread the word so we can reach our goal.

Thanks so much, Green Woodlands Foundation.
