International Volunteers did impressive work in Montpelier's Parks!
A group of nine international volunteers arrived on July 4th and worked and played  here until July 24th. Their help was amazing and greatly leveraged our efforts to improve our parks and our community. Thanks to all of them for their heroic efforts!

They have worked on a new trail in the North Branch River Park and Blanchard Park. Additionally they have done work in Mill Pond Park, the Peace Park and Hubbard Park.
