Another Sunset Bird/Nature Walk
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.

Not an early riser? You’re not alone. Some birds also prefer to sing, call, or display in late afternoon and early evening.

Well, we have a “happenin’ summer!”
Arts events are the big focus in July, with a concert, a workshop, and a reception. If you need something a bit more detailed, try the Butterfly and Big Walk. If you want quiet reflection, there’s another Forest Sit. Need to stomp some feet? Drop by the Blues for Breakfast concert at the Huntington Rec Field.
