where natural history meets art
November is mostly behind-the-scenes month. We have a lot to be thankful for, this month, and will post about all sorts of amazing people, places, and phenomena on instagram, facebook, and/or bluesky. We are open by appointment while we take the time to move art around, build the annual appeal, work on our newsletters, and update and invent new traveling exhibits. We have a few events, of course!
All birders — current, experienced, newbie and would-be — welcome!
Join our monthly monitoring walk to record birds at the Museum’s trails, forest, and meadow. Learn something new, share what you know, or both! Most fun for adults, older children.
Please bring your own binoculars and dress for the weather. We recommend bringing tick repellent and a water bottle.

September: thinking about myths, conservation, collisions, making, happiness, decomposition, communication, and restoration. All that in one museum!

We are really enjoying this “sunset” series. Come along for another walk with us!
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. In addition, we may observe moths, frogs, other insects, and maybe even a mammal or two.
Please call 802 434-2167 to reserve your spot, or try the button below:
Max: 8
Suggested donation: $5-$15
Meet at the Museum entrance
Conditions: 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.
Tick protection is recommended.
