Getting Wild & Connected: A 7,000-mile Trek Along the Eastern Wildway

When: September 6, 2011 from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM
Where: Memorial Lounge, Waterman Building, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT

On Tuesday, September 6, 2011, the Trust sponsored a talk by wilderness explorer and conservationist John Davis, who is in the midst of a 7,000-mile outdoor journey that is drawing attention to the need to restore, protect, and connect the East’s wildest places. Called TrekEast, Davis is traveling by foot, bike, and boat from Florida to the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec, and has already trekked almost 5,500 miles through swamps, rivers, and mountains.

John told some wild tales about his inspiring adventure and described regional conservation efforts at this free slideshow presentation. Held at the University of Vermont campus in Burlington, the event was sponsored by Wildlands Network, Northeast Wilderness Trust, UVM’s Environmental Studies Program, the Staying Connected Initiative, and Two Countries, One Forest.
