Taking Care Episode 3: Vermont

Our final episode of Taking Care takes us back home to Vermont, to the Sterling Pond Shelter on the Long Trail. Here, Julie Higgins, a caretaker for the Green Mountain Club, works diligently to keep the 15-mile section of the trail she’s been entrusted with beautiful and accessible for everyone. Her intimate knowledge of this small slice of Vermont’s forests is a special thing—and passing along this knowledge to educate the hikers she meets is part of what it means for her to be a caretaker.
