Welcome to our late spring and early summer events! We’ll walk and bird, sit in the forest, explore art, and maybe even try whittling and wood carving.
The trails are open from sunrise to sunset, every day—we recommend using the south trails (Spear, Discovery, Story) rather than Gale’s, Pop’s, or Bob’s, thanks to flooding last July. Trail maps and more information are available on our website, and are posted at the museum and at trail kiosks as well.

BIRDS AND MYTH: 2025 COMMUNITY ART SHOW
continues through October
Birds are some of our teachers, not only through our senses and observations, but also through our stories about them. These stories can be factual accounts, broader myths, or something in between. Legends, beliefs, representations, truth, insight, guidance, metaphors, meanings, and understandings all play a part.
Included with Museum Admission

SUNSET BIRD WALK
Thursday, June 5 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Not an early riser? You’re not alone. Some birds also prefer to sing, call, or display in late afternoon and early evening. Enjoy a sunset stroll around the Museum’s forests and clearings and “meet” some of them. Erin Talmage and Ali Wagner will lead the walk. Although we may see and hear fewer species than we do at dawn, a late day ramble gives us more time to appreciate each kind and to better learn their songs.
Max: 8 • Call 802 434-2167 to register. More details at https://birdsofvermont.org/event/sunset-bird-walk-june/
Suggested donation, $5-$15
