RE:Vermont - A Small Towns Naked Dilemma

Vermont has always occupied a special place in my heart when it comes to the liberating experience of social nudity. Several idyllic locations, such as The Ledges and Rock River in Southern Vermont, were among the first places where I truly embraced the exhilarating joy of being nude outdoors, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the camaraderie of others who shared the same enthusiasm. It was also in this picturesque state that I participated in the World Naked Bike Ride for the first time. I have many nudists friends from the state who are very special people. I sincerely hope that they can find a harmonious way for everyone to coexist, preserving the spirit of freedom and community that makes Vermont such a special place.

As a lady who embraces the nudist lifestyle, I believe Vermonts approach to personal freedom, especially when it comes to body autonomy, is something to be celebrated, not restricted.

The situation in Pittsford is a reminder that while public nudity is legal in Vermont, its often misunderstood. Nudism is not about provocation or indecency; it's about comfort, natural living, and freedom from unnecessary shame tied to the human body. For many of us, it's also deeply tied to mental well-being and a respectful, non-sexual connection with nature and self.
