let’s connect with nature, from home

The Great TAM Hunt Part II! Win MALT mugs and hats, program gift cards, and more!

  • Hint #1, a poem by Katherine:

    I am one of the signs in an eastern Woods
    I Mean well - go north if you want the MALT goods
    The trail you seek is just off the TAM
    Well, after this can you guess where I am?

  • Hint #2
    I stand at the base of Middlebury's hill
    Park on the president's street (he's on the $1 bill)
    Walk across the field, and into the trees
    Go right at the split and then we'll see who sees

  • Hint # 3
    I sit on the TAM in the far southeast 
    Alongside the place that brews with yeast
    Go into the trail (by the kiosk, you know)
    Twenty paces more and I'll see if you know

We'll all be spending a lot more time at home in the coming weeks. Whether you're 3 or 73, MALT will share ideas and resources, for you to have meaningful time with nature and stay well in your body and mind. We will also be posting nature-related content for you to enjoy and resources to harness nature’s healing power.

We express gratitude to all those who had the foresight and ethic to conserve our precious lands. We need them now, perhaps more than we have in a long time. 

We'll try to post a few times a week, please follow us on Facebook and Instagram for regular updates.

Happy trails and be well, The MALT Team
