DUMMERSTON â A section of the Missing Links trail project connecting Dummerston and Putney is now open to the public and being celebrated as an achievement of a longtime goal. Richard Fletcher, board member of the Putney Mountain Association who was in charge of the work crew for the project, said a trail committee in Dummerston tried to get easements 25 or 30 years ago. âWeâve been able to find people who were willing to do that,â he said. The new Dummerston trail is part of âa long-held dreamâ of connecting Prospect Hill to the extended trail system of Putney Mountain Association and the Windmill Hill Pinnacle Association, according to a news release. The announcement came in a news release from the PMA and Vermont Land Trust.
