where natural history meets art
June brings lots of birding, a dinner event, and an art workshop, complementing the actual birds, the carvings, and annual community art show.
Drop in! At this time of year the museum is open from 10am – 4 pm Wednesdays – Sundays. Admission is free for members. Visit birdsofvermont.org/visit/ for more information.
Together, let’s rest, restore our spirits, watch birds or butterflies, do a little nature journaling, or whatever is comfortable and quiet for each. Many of us need a bit of respite, solace, or recuperation.
Meet outside the museum by the entrance benches. We will welcome each other, walk out to the month’s sit spot, and sit quietly for 30-45 minutes. Each month we’ll visit a different nearby location on the Museum’s property. Locations may change.
Please bring any of these you wish: water, tick repellent, journaling materials, binoculars, camp stool, pillow, sitting mat. Hats recommended.
Max: 8 people • Outdoors
Free, suggested donation: $10

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.

Welcome to our late spring and early summer events! We’ll walk and bird, sit in the forest, explore art, and maybe even try whittling and wood carving.
The trails are open from sunrise to sunset, every day—we recommend using the south trails (Spear, Discovery, Story) rather than Gale’s, Pop’s, or Bob’s, thanks to flooding last July. Trail maps and more information are available on our website, and are posted at the museum and at trail kiosks as well.
