MissionThe mission of the Birds of Vermont Museum is to provide education, to nurture an appreciation of the environment, and to study birds and their habitats using woodcarvings and other museum resources. About UsThe Birds of Vermont Museum is a delightful place where visitors can learn about birds and their roles in the earth's ecosystems. A private, non-profit organization, the Museum features over 479 carved birds, representing 258 species. The woodcarvings depict Vermont's nesting species in their natural habitats as well as North America's endangered and extinct species. |
Visit the Carvings and MoreThe Museum's displays, the surrounding 100 acre bird sanctuary/nature preserve, and the bird viewing window offer visitors a unique opportunity to see and study birds that will not fly away! The birds have been carved by Robert Spear, Jr., a native Vermonter, who is one of Vermont's foremost naturalists and woodcarvers. Additional birds are carved by his skilled apprentice, Ingrid Riga, curator. Their current project is the Fall Migration/Wetland Diorama (see more in our blog). Several picnic spots with tables are available at the Museum, just outside the front door and at a nearby pond, a short walk away. Each year between 4000-5000 adults and children visit the Museum. Audubon Vermont is located just down the road from the Museum, convenient for combined visits. We also invite you to become, renew or give a membership at any time. Call us or use our membership form. Thank you for visiting our website! Visit the Birds of Vermont Museum page on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter.
