Last Updated: 10.Oct.2019
The 2019 Forestry Series is based around the theme of "Changes in the Forests and Fields Around US - a deep dive into the phenology and ever-changing world of the Black River Watershed". Over the course of the summer we will explore the flora and fauna of our region and the seasonal changes they experience.
The series will take place monthly, 7:30pm on Tuesdays, except for the final talk in October which will occur on a Thursday. All talks are hosted at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center Activity Center, are free and open to the public with refreshments served.
