Support NBNC

"NBNC's ECO Homeschool and Summer Camp programs instilled in my children a deep love for Vermont's landscape and taught them to engage, delight, and steward. We can't wait to return next summer for walks and swims in the woods and river and fields we all love and know so well."

— Hannah Miller, NBNC supporter

Adopt an Owl

Support Community Science at NBNC with a fun and unique gift for friends and family. Our owl research program is an extraordinary opportunity to connect with charismatic wildlife while discovering new information about avian ecology. This research requires specialized equipment and intensive data analysis that would not be possible without your support. Adopt an Owl here.

So I tell you this not to scare you,
But to prepare you, to dare you
To dream a different reality,

Where despite disparities
We all care to protect this world,
This riddled blue marble, this little true marvel
To muster the verve and the nerve
To see how we can serve
Our planet.

— Amanda Gorman, US Inaugural Poet, Earthrise
