Despite a long stretch of very wet weather this spring, trails for hiking and mountain biking are opening back up after mud season — with some caveats. With mixed precipitation in the forecast, the Green Mountain Club is urging hikers to be prepared for foul weather if they hit the trails over Memorial Day weekend. According to the trails nonprofit, hikers should expect wet, muddy conditions at all elevations and can help protect trails by taking care with where they step.

On a recent morning in May, a crew of scientists aboard a research vessel in the middle of Lake Champlain untangled a big commercial fishing net, preparing to drop it into the dark depths of the lake. The crew was looking for young, wild lake trout — fish that are just about to make the transition to adulthood. After decades of stocking, research and conservation efforts, Lake Champlain’s wild lake trout population appears to be sustaining itself.

Flash flooding closed roads and inundated downtowns Saturday across the Green Mountain State. White River Junction was hit especially hard, and appears to have seen the worst of the damage. Flash flooding following a microburst forced the Veterans Affairs Hospital there to move its emergency department to higher ground. A hospital spokesperson said patient care was not interrupted, and continues at the new, drier location.

Last week, the Trump administration sued the state of Vermont over its landmark Climate Superfund Act. The law — which was the first of its kind in the country — seeks damages from the largest fossil fuel companies in the world, based on how much their products contributed to climate change globally and how much climate change has cost Vermont in recent decades. Vermont Attorney General Charity Clark said she looks forward to defending Vermont against the suit.
