Spectacular 360-degree views, forests, wetlands, meadows, flowers and wildlife—Tucker Mountain Town Forest has it all. Here are rich recreational opportunities, all in their seasons: hiking, cross-country skiing, hunting, and riding mountain bikes, horses, snowmobiles, and off-road vehicles.
The Town Forest is home to the two highest points of land in Newbury, Tucker at 1690 ft. and Woodchuck, 1750 ft. The land has a rich history of agricultural use. Stonewalls wind through the woods marking old pastures where trees now grow tall. On Tucker’s open summit where sheep and cattle once grazed, the stone walls are a reminder of the past.
The stewardship of this treasured natural preserve is in the hands of the Tucker Mountain Town Forest Management Committee. This all-volunteer community group works with town groups, the Vermont Land Trust, and state agencies to sustain and improve the mountain for all to enjoy, now and into the future.
