SUMMARY:Vermont Beetles
DESCRIPTION:Beetles (Order: Coleoptera) are a fascinating yet vastly understudied taxonomic group. In Vermont alone\, there are over 1\,000 different species! Some groups provide important roles as pollinators\, biological controls\, decomposers\, and more. Other beetles\, such as the invasive Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) threaten the health of our ecosystems. \nJoin us to learn about the ecology and identification of different groups of beetles found in Vermont.\nRegister through Eventbrite\nRegister for Beetles\n\n\nIn this two hour workshop\, we will spend about 45 minutes focusing on a few families\, genera\, and species of note. For the remaining hour and 15 minutes\, we will go outside and search for beetles around the Birds of Vermont museum\, identifying as we go. \nAbout Julia Pupko (they/them):\nJulia is the former coordinator of the Vermont Lady Beetle Atlas through the Vermont Atlas of Life at the Vermont Center for Ecostudies.

SUMMARY:Meander for Mushrooms
DESCRIPTION:…with Meg Madden\, Myco-influencer \nEver wondered about the mysterious mushrooms that share the forest with us? Are you fungi-curious? Do you see interesting mushrooms in your travels and wish you knew more about these fascinating organisms? \nOn this walk we will explore the woods and learn about the mushrooms we find along the way including what they are\, how to identify them\, and the essential roles that these fungi play in forest ecology. We will also discuss the importance of community science and learn tips and tricks for taking mushroom photos. \nLimit: 15 • please register in advance \nRegister through EventbriteRegister for Mushroom walk\n\nCost: $20 – $40 (Discount for Museum members) \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. \nMeg Madden leads an exploration on the Museum’s trails: to seek\, to find\, and to understand the fungi that live in and on our corner of the wood-wide web. \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

SUMMARY:Let your imagination take flight: art workshop with Rachel Mirus
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Rachel Mirus and let your imagination take flight with bird-inspired creative drawing. \nObserving nature has inspired many artistic flights of imagination. In this class\, we will look closely at feathers\, one of the hallmark traits of birds\, and spend time observing birds. \nAlong the way we will cover field sketching and easy ways to add color to drawings\, working primarily in graphite\, color pencil\, and brush pen. \nFrom this observational foundation we will consider how scientific or fantasy illustrators reinvent vanished animals like feathered dinosaurs or create images of mythical animals like the phoenix. \nClass will culminate in project time for students to experiment with their own creative ideas. Come learn ways your appreciation of nature can fuel your imagination! \nAll materials provided\, but participants are encouraged to bring any natural objects they wish to draw or share. You are welcome to bring any materials you prefer. Rachel also provides materials\, but sometimes people have preferences and she support students using what they are comfortable with. \nBring a friend! You are welcome to enjoy your lunch here at the museum after the workshop. \nSliding scale fee • Register here or call (802) 434-2167 to pay at the door.\nRegister via Eventbrite\nRegister forworkshop\n\n\nMinimum: 4 participants\nMaximum: 15 participants\nAges 13 and up
