Lending Tool Shed
Located at our offices in Norwich, UVTA’s Stewardship Tool Library, has an assortment of tools for trail building and maintenance that are available to rent for FREE to Alliance members.
Alliance members also have access to specialized equipment requiring a UVTA staff person to operate – a Griphoist System, Tracked Hauler, Chainsaw and TRAFx Trail Counters. Read more about this specialized equipment in the tabs below.
Alliance member organizations get an hourly discount for UVTA equipment operators!
The Lending Toolshed is a partnership with Nature Groupie, a project of UNH Extension that supports outdoor volunteerism in New England.
A Griphoist System enables us to move heavy materials like gravel and stones more efficiently and with less damage to the trails and land.

Like the Griphoist System, our Tracked Haulers help us move stone and other material through the woods with minimal impact to the environment. These small but mighty mechanized wheelbarrows can hold up to 1,000 pounds of material!

TRAFx Trail Counters gather important trail data, not only to help assess trail use but a trails positive impact on community health and wellbeing. This data can then help us better understand and manage our trails, and can also provide invaluable data when we are applying for grants and other funding.
