Hiking Vermontâs hillsides is a great way to enjoy a spring day, but the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department and Audubon Vermont recommend people check to see if the area they are planning to hike or climb is open.
âPeregrine falcons are very sensitive to human presence during their breeding season, so we ask climbers and hikers to please maintain a respectful distance from all nests,â said state wildlife biologist Doug Morin. âThe areas closed include the portions of the cliffs where the birds are nesting and the trails leading to cliff tops or overlooks.â
Biologists and community scientists are just now identifying which cliffs are occupied by peregrines, and not all sites have been visited to-date. Once closed, these sites will remain closed until Aug. 1 or until the department determines the risk to nesting falcons has passed.

The old Manchester Drive-In property in Bolton Notch. (Edward McCullough

BOLTON, CT The listing price on the former Manchester Drive-In property has dropped to less than $1 million.
The 21-acre site is located in Bolton Notch at 366 Boston Turnpike. It was once one of the most popular venues in the area until it closed in the mid-1980s.
It has since become overgrown and remnants of the old theater, including the rusted big screen and the weathered marquee, can still be seen.
