Join museum staff on Thursday, June 19,  at 10 am for a quiet time outdoors in the forest.

Meet outside the museum by the entrance benches. We will welcome each other, walk out to the month’s sit spot, and sit quietly for 30-45 minutes. Together, let’s rest, restore our spirits, watch birds or butterflies, do a little nature journaling, or whatever is comfortable and quiet for each.

Each month we’ll visit a different nearby location on the Museum’s property. Locations may change.

Please register by calling the museum at 802 434-2167 or online with the button below:

June 19: sit in or near the Stone Wall above the pond and upper meadow clearing (0.3 mil mostly uphill but not too steep, can be damp and a bit uneven).

July 17: sit in or near the walk-in Treehouse (great for those of us with limited mobility, under 200 feet from parking lot to Treehouse along the dirt road and gravel path; generally level)

August 14: sit in or along the Pond (about 0.2 mi from museum entrance, light uphill then level; can be uneven)

September 18: sit in or near the Creek (specific location TBD)

Please bring any of these you wish: water, tick repellent, journaling materials, binoculars, camp stool, pillow, sitting mat. Hats recommended.

Max: 8 people • Outdoors

Free, suggested donation: $10

Please register by calling the museum at 802 434-2167. You are welcome to sign up for  one, several, or all.
