Waterbury Area Trail Alliance
 

The Waterbury Area Trail Alliance (WATA) is a dedicated organization focused on creating and maintaining a network of multi-use trails in the Waterbury, Vermont area. Known for its commitment to sustainable trail building, WATA provides outdoor enthusiasts with access to some of the most picturesque landscapes in Central Vermont. The trails meander through lush forests, alongside clear streams, and offer stunning views of the surrounding hills. While the area does not represent a state or national protected space per se, it forms a crucial part of the local community’s outdoor activities. The Alliance plays a significant role in ensuring the trails are well-groomed and accessible for various activities, including hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing during winter months. WATA is instrumental in promoting the appreciation and conservation of the local flora and fauna, making it a vital partner in local conservation efforts. Notable for its community-driven spirit, WATA frequently organizes trail workdays and events to engage locals and visitors alike, promoting stewardship of these natural areas.
