SUMMARY:Green Mountain Woodcarvers May 2026 Carve-In
DESCRIPTION:The Museum is delighted to host the Green Mountain Wood Carvers (GMWC) May Carve-In! Stop in to watch a wood carver at work\, ask a question\, or learn about this carving club. \nThe Green Mountain Woodcarvers will be carving in the workshop. The GMWC is a group of carvers from Vermont with members from around New England. They meet monthly for “Carve-Ins” around the State and host a annual Show and Class (in August). We’re delighted to have them at the Museum! \nAt the Carve-In\, carvers talk and work on a variety of woodcarving projects. Carvers are always happy to explain how they carve and to share their expertise with others. Ask questions and become a GMWC member! \nCarvers meet in the workshop or treehouse (weather permitting). \nMore info at the Green Mountain Wood carvers website: http://greenmountainwoodcarvers.org/

SUMMARY:Evening Bird Walk (May 14)
DESCRIPTION:Not an early riser? You’re not alone. Some birds also prefer to sing\, call\, or display in late afternoon and early evening. \nEnjoy a sunset stroll around the Museum’s forests and clearings and “meet” some of them. Erin Talmage and Ali Wagner will lead the walk. \nAlthough 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. In addition\, we may observe moths\, frogs\, other insects\, and maybe even a mammal or two.   \nPlease call 802 434-2167 to reserve your spot or use the button below.\nRegister for May 14 Sunset Bird Walk \nMax: 8\nSuggested donation: $5-$15\nMeet at the Museum entrance \nConditions: Trails can be muddy and uneven\, and there are some slopes. We usually walk then pause for observation. Some benches here and there provide additional rest points. \nTick protection is recommended. \nPhoto: Hermit Thrush by Mark Paul and used with permission.

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
