SUMMARY:From Crawdads to Crows: critters that should and critters that shouldn't
DESCRIPTION:Scientist Melanie Giangreco and museum staff will share how invasive aquatic invertebrates can impact Vermont waterways and ultimately birds. \nWe will start indoors\, introducing some native and invasive animals\, freshwater habitats\, and typical birds. After discussion and observations\, we will visit an upland forest pond and a typical Vermont brook. What is actually here\, what could change\, and how can we help? We will end with conversation and a chance to examine some animals more closely (with stereo- and microscopes). \nThis workshop is ideal for the curious\, adventurous\, and those willing to get a bit muddy. \nBest for ages 10 and up; children must have an adult with them.\nSuggested donation: $10 per person (includes museum admission after the program)\nMax participants: 20 people\nRegister with the button below or call 802 434-2167.\nLet’s Learn! \nDress for being outdoors and near water: that means boots\, ticks\, mud\, uneven terrain and more! \n

SUMMARY:Spring Ephemerals with Kathleen Stutzman
DESCRIPTION:Explore our trails in search of spring wildflowers and ephemerals with Forester Kathleen Stutzman. Admire and identify plants flowering in the early spring\, before the overstory trees leaf out. This is a critical and short season for plants on the forest floor\, with some completing their entire life cycle in these few short weeks! \nThe timing of this flowering can be variable in response to environmental conditions\, so we can’t know for sure what plants we will see. There will be plants in various forms of emergence and flowering. We’ll enjoy the early spring greenery. \nMud is likely and the walk will travel over uneven terrain\, so wear comfortable and supportive shoes. \nRegister now: \nSign up for Spring Wildflower Walk \nOr visit https://sevendaystickets.com/?q=Birds+of+Vermont+Museum or call 802 434-2167 — whatever works for you! \nMax: 15 people\nSuggested donation $15 \n#NatureWalk #SpringInVermont #SpringEphemerals #Wildflowers

SUMMARY:the Big Sit! 2025
DESCRIPTION:The most relaxed birding around. And around and around … \nHow many birds (and birdwatchers) can we identify from a 17-foot diameter circle between sunrise and sunset? Can we beat last year’s record? We’ve seen birds big and small\, in night and day: from Kinglets to Great Blue Herons\, Barred Owls to Turkey Vultures. \nThis is a great long-running community science project. Pledges and donations welcome:\n \nWe are observing from Dawn to Dusk. The Museum is open from 10am – 4pm. \nCall or email to ask about joining the observation team. \nFor much more info\, see https://www.thebigsit.org/ . \nCheck out the reports from previous years: 2015\, 2016\, 2017\, 2018\, 2019\, 2020\, 2021 (overall)\, 2021 (ours)\, 2022 (overall)\, 2022 (ours)\, 2023 (overall)\, 2023 (ours)

SUMMARY:CANCELLED : Meander for Mushrooms
DESCRIPTION:We’re sorry but we have had to cancel this event. We hope to offer it again sometime! \nIt’s widely known that some fungi are decomposers\, but did you know that they can also eat plastic\, clean up oil spills\, hunt for prey\, and enable trees to talk to each other? \nJoin mycology educator\, macro photographer\, and author Meg Madden on a mushroom curiosity walk to learn more about the lives of these fascinating organisms. On this walk we will explore the woods and talk about the mushrooms we find along the way including what they are and how to identify them. \nFrom building soil to connecting trees\, we will go over the essential roles that fungi play within their natural communities. From environmental remediation to mycelium-based green building materials\, we’ll also learn about some of the unique ways fungi can help us navigate our way in a more planet-friendly manner. \nMeg will also discuss the importance of community science\, how you can contribute to Vermont’s growing database of fungi species on iNaturalist\, and share tips and tricks for taking scientific grade mushroom photos. \nWear comfortable walking shoes\, weather-appropriate clothing\, and bring your questions and curiosity! A smartphone equipped with the iNaturalist app is a plus\, but not required. \nSigned copies of Meg’s new book\, This Is A Book For People Who Love Mushrooms is available for purchase in the Musuem’s Gift Shop. \nNote: this is NOT a foraging program.\n \nAbout Meg Madden\nFungi educator\, author\, and professional photographer\, Meg Madden can often be found in the forests of her childhood practicing what she calls “mushroom yoga” — laying on the ground\, standing on her head\, or balancing precariously on a log — to capture the perfect snail’s-eye view of her favorite photo subject: Fungi! Her colorful\, highly detailed mushroom portraits offer an intimate look into the often-overlooked world of these extraordinary organisms. \nInspired by the belief that people are more likely to take care of something they love\, she finds great joy in facilitating fun and meaningful connections between humans and nature. Meg shares her knowledge and contagious passion for the fantastic world of fungi through visually engaging presentations\, mushroom walks\, and via her Instagram gallery @megmaddendesign. An advocate for fungal diversity and community science\, Meg teaches iNaturalist classes\, organizes educational workshops and Bioblitzes\, and is compiling an Atlas Of Fungi for the state of Vermont. \nwww.instagram.com/megmaddendesign/\nlinktr.ee/MegMadden
