Beginning June 20, 2011 through Aug 2, 2011
The Rutland Community & Pine Hill Park welcomed
the 5th Year of YouthWorks
Our great thanks to those that came from across the country to our little corner of the world.
 Across the last few years the Rutland Community is grateful for the meaningful hard work YouthWork’s Mission Groups from across the county have generously contributed both to Pine Hill Park and across the community.
Hosted by the Calvary Bible Church on Grove Street, for four plus summers, youth in groups of 80 from around the country have paid their own way, spending upwards of 32 hours to drive to Rutland, Vermont. They spend a week at a time, dividing out into work groups of 12-24 to fan out across the area in order to improve and enhance the community.
Pine Hill Park has been the recipient of many many hours of pickaxing, rock barring, and dirt moving. This extensive careful labor has been perhaps the most transformative force to the trail system and the park as a whole. 
The level and standard of trailwork the park has received through the tireless efforts of this group has in large part brought the park to it’s current level of popularity and usage. http://www.youthworks.com/http://www.cbcvt.org/shapeimage_5_link_0shapeimage_5_link_1

The

Pine Hill

Partnership

A non-profit volunteer organization formed to steward the 300 acre woods of Pine Hill Park.

Through the cooperation of the Rutland Recreation Department, the organization has brought about the transformation seen throughout the park.

Partnering and coordinating many local groups, individuals, businesses, schools and agencies, The Pine Hill Partnership has painstakingly formed the park’s uniquely diverse and beautiful 16 mile trail system.

Tens of thousands of strenuous man-hours has created the flowy singletrack trails through difficult and rocky terrain. All the pickaxing, shoveling, bridge building, and signage as been entirely donated by volunteers coordinated through and by The Pine Hill Partnership.

Stone Bench Project at Pine Hill Park

Pine Hill Park was the recipient of this student carved stone bench in October 2010

The bench illustrates beautiful unfettered mountains on one side and the effects of  pollution on the other... depicting man’s struggle to balance this earthbound conflict.
