Naturalist Journeys 2025
This year's series focuses on making healthy and sustainable forests in Vermont. How should we weigh competing forest management goals? Is timber harvesting at odds with biodiversity? Can felling a tree save a bird? When can logging be a radical act of compassion? How do Vermont's ecological foresters make choices? What happens when we restore a forest's wild autonomy? We hope you'll join the discussion!

* Face the Rivers at Montpelier High School is a collaboration of MHS, North Branch Nature Center, and Vermont River Conservancy. A class unlike any other, this semester prepares students to become leading stewards of Montpelier's waterways. Students explore aquatic life, investigate flooding, examine erosion, and follow the water through our natural, cultural, and social landscapes. As their final assignment, students were tasked to create video proposals addressing solutions to chosen watershed threats. Watch more of their videos here
