What is Calendar Brook WMA like?
VFWD describes where it is: "The property is located in the town of Sutton in Caledonia County, Vermont, just west of the village of Sutton near the Sheffield-Sutton town line." Of the land: "The WMA takes its name from Calendar Brook, a tributary of the Passumpsic River which flows through the heart of the property." "Elevations range from 1,300 to 1,500 feet, and the terrain is moderately sloped to flat." On its past: "Although the area is almost entirely forested, old fences indicate that portions of the area were cleared and used for agriculture until the early 20th century." On its animals: "White-tailed deer travel to the Calendar Brook wintering area from surrounding towns in December." The sheet names white-tailed deer, black bear, moose, ruffed grouse, woodcock and snowshoe hare among its wildlife. On parking: "The access and parking lot for this WMA is located on Union House Road."
