The Organization will aid in the development promotion and fundraising for Distant Hills mission-related services facilities and programs. Pavilion Construction - A 22 x 36 wheelchair accessible timber frame pavilion with a poured concrete slab was built during the spring and summer of 2024. Acting as a venue for nature-based education and accessible outdoor recreation our pavilion serves as a vital community hub cultivating a sense of belonging collaboration and social cohesion within our community. The pavilion will allow Distant Hill to provide numerous free events and workshops for children and adults ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder the community from engaging in the many activities available at Distant Hill. By offering these events and workshops we will enhance educational access for individuals of all ages. The approximately 5,000 to 7,500 visitors a year to Distant Hill now have a space to rest and picnic with family and friends. We won a $50,000 grant from Kubota Tractor Company which helped with the construction of the pavilion and the accessible trail expansion. 50000 50000 Trout Unlimited restored the aquatic organism habitat of 1.5 miles of Great Brook a stream that flows through the 155 acres that make up Distant Hill and three adjoining properties. The funding was through a USDA EQIP grant that covered 100% of the cost. We held two related workshops in 2024 to teach visitor the conservation value of the project and we plan to hold two more workshops in 2025. Ongoing research will be conducted to document the value of the restoration to both aquatic organisms and to downstream water quality. Number of persons benefited yearly: 5,000 - 7,500 49829 49829 We built another quarter-mile of wheelchair and stroller accessible trail in 2024 giving Distant Hill over two miles of accessible gravel trail. All labor and tractor hours were donated. Only the cost of gravel trail fabric culverts and tractor fuel are included in the cost.
