This annual winter adventure is an outstanding opportunity to spend quality time with species rarely, if ever, seen in Vermont. This trip is not only about discovering rare species by land and sea, but about watching, enjoying, and studying seabirds among a community of like-minded nature lovers under the leadership of a first-class guide and educator.
We will snowshoe around the trail! Hiking is our backup plan in the event that there isn't snow or too little to snowshoe. After snowshoeing or hiking, we will gather for some hot drinks to warm back up!

Through tracking, camera trapping, and quiet observation we can peer into the lives of NBNC's most secretive animals: foxes, felines, ravens, beavers, bears, and more. In this presentation, we'll go on a virtual exploration of the ecosystem to visit some of its wildest creatures and most interesting stories.
Bizarre and spectacular creatures hide in plain sight all around us because they are too small to see without magnification. In this class we will go on a micro-safari, hunting down these hidden microorganisms using microscopes and capturing them through observational drawing.
