Nature Awareness Study Group
6 week program starting in late February
Brattleboro, VT
Quick, can you name twenty tree species in Vermont? How about the five most common birdsongs in Southern Vermont? Best local tinder material? If you can’t— would you like to be able to?
The Vermont Wilderness School is starting a nature study group to do just that. We’ll begin with simple awareness tools that will help you expand your senses and follow with field exercises that can help you understand what you see in your backyard, the local park, or the deep woods.
